| 2014-12-27 | |
... Party of God, a Leb militia inspired, founded, funded and directed by Iran. Hizbullah refers to itself as The Resistanceand purports to defend Leb against Israel, with whom it has started and lost one disastrous war to date, though it did claim victory... has detained a senior party official it accused of spying for Israel and "sabotaging security operations" abroad, a source close to the movement said on Thursday. "Three months ago, Hizbullah's security apparatus detained a man named Mohammad Shawraba, who is a collaborator in its ranks," said the source, who spoke to Agence La Belle France Presse on condition of anonymity. Hizbullah's investigation of Shawraba, who comes from the southern Lebanese town of Mahruna, revealed he had been working with Israel's Mossad intelligence service since 2007, the source said. Hizbullah, the movement whose opponents accuse it of being a "state within a state" in Leb, has refused to comment on the arrest. According to the source, Shawraba was in charge of Hizbullah "unit 901", which coordinates the group's foreign operations. Shawraba lived in Hizbullah's south Beirut stronghold but traveled frequently, said the source, adding that Israel's spy agency recruited him during a trip abroad. "This member sabotaged some five security operations that Hizbullah had been planning abroad against Israeli-linked interests," said the source. Hizbullah had been organizing attacks to avenge the killing of its top military commander Imad Mughniyeh, who was assassinated in a 2008 car kaboom in Damascus which the group blamed on Israel. Party chief His Eminence Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah The satrap of the Medes and the Persians in Leb... had frequently threatened to carry out Dire Revenge attacks. The source said Hizbullah launched a probe that eventually led to Shawraba's arrest following its attack on Israeli tourists in Bulgaria in 2012. The 2012 bombing killed five tourists and the bus driver, but the myrmidon group's suspicions were aroused when the bomber also died and his two accomplices were quickly identified. Residents of Shawraba's village said they were shocked over the allegation. "Shawraba is nearly 50 years old, and hasn't been here for a long time, but his family is known for its loyalty to Hizbullah," a Mahruna resident told AFP. "For now, it's just a rumor, but if the movement officially announces his arrest, his family will disown him," he added. Hizbullah has rarely been infiltrated by foreign intelligence agencies. In 2012, the group tossed in the clink Please don't kill me! an official in its missiles unit named Abu Trab, who was accused of providing Israel with information about the locations of Hizbullah's rockets in southern Leb during a month-long 2006 war. Iran-backed Hizbullah has a massive weapons arsenal. | |
