Four and a half years ago, I reported that Hezbullah had
set up operations in Cuba.
Hezbullah, which already has operations in Paraguay, Brazil, Venezuela
and Mexico (the article doesn't say Mexico, but I've reported that in
the past) is setting up operations in Cuba to serve as a base for an
attack on Israeli interests in Latin America to avenge the death of
master terrorist Imad Mughniyah. The report in YNet is based upon an article in Italy's Corriere della Sera.
According
to the report, three Hezbollah members have already arrived in Cuba
with the purpose of establishing a terrorist cell there. The cell is to
include 23 operatives, hand-picked by Talal Hamia, a senior member
tasked with heading the covert operation.
The operation, titled "The Caribbean Case," was reportedly allocated
a budget of $1.5 million. The Cuba base is to be initially used for
logistics purposes, including intelligence collection, networking and
document forgery.
Four days
after I wrote that post, Hillary Clinton confidante Sid Blumenthal (who was not a US government employee) sent Hillary an email informing her that the Mossad has
confirmed the existence of a Hezbullah base in Cuba.
The dispatch read:
During the week of
September 5, 2011 extremely sensitive sources reported in confidence
that the Israeli Intelligence and Security Service (Mossad) has informed
the leadership of the Israeli Government that Hezbollah is establishing
an operational base in Cuba, designed to support terrorist attacks
throughout Latin America.
The confidential intelligence report from Blumenthal to Clinton continued:
These sources believe
that Hezbollah supporters have been instructed to also begin casing
facilities associated with the United States and the United Kingdom,
including diplomatic missions, major banks, and businesses in the
region. These individuals believe that the Hezbollah military commanders
in Lebanon and Syria view these U.S. and U.K. entities as contingency
targets to be attacked in the event of U.S. and British military
intervention in either Syria or Iran, at some point in the future.
The real question here is what the Obama administration did about Hezbullah establishing bases in Latin America. The answer: Absolutely nothing.
