ISRAEL “WARNS” OF HEZBOLLAH TERRORISM AT WORLD CUP GAMES. According to the Saudi paper {Al-Watan}, Israel warned European and U.S. intelligence that Hezbollah would plan attacks--on Iran’s behalf--during the World Cup soccer games in Germany. The attacks would be led by one Imad Mugniyahf. The website goes on: “According to the report, the terror plot is aimed at proving to the international community that Tehran is capable of retalian if attacked.”
The report continues, “Sources in Washington said a joint U.S.-European operations room has been set up to deal with such a scenario; to this end, two American aircraft carriers, along with a French ship, are making their way to the Indian Ocean and the Persian Gulf.
“U.S. officials opposed to an attack on Iran fear the Bush Administration would take advantage of such terror attacks to launch an offensive that, according to the officials, would settle the Iranian nuclear crisis and boost the President’s approval rating.
“The officials added that should the terror attacks be masterminded by a third party, they would still be used to justify an attack on Iran.”
