Blog buddy Bob sends a long a link in which he ponders why it is we don't have to worry about Hezbollah opening a terrorist front in the US if we or Israel did find it necessary to attack Iran.
That might be an interesting question, but personally, I've been wondering all day why it is we're looking into Hezbollah actively in New York.
The FBI and Justice Department have launched urgent new probes in New York and other cities targeting members of the Lebanese terror group.
Law-enforcement and intelligence officials told The Post that about a dozen hard-core supporters of Hezbollah have been identified in recent weeks as operating in the New York area.
Sources said the activities of these New York-based operatives are being monitored by FBI counterterrorism agents as part of a nationwide effort to prevent a possible terror strike if the confrontation with Iran over its nuclear program spins out of control.
Additional law-enforcement attention is being centered on the Iranian Mission to the United Nations, where there have already been three episodes in the last four years in which diplomats and security guards have been expelled for casing and photographing New York City subways and other potential targets.
Just a hunch, but could it be the statements out of Lebanon are a bunch of BS - or CS if you prefer. I understand they're partial to camels in that particular region of the world. Or maybe it's simply cover given that they are feeling the heat in NYC?
And can we really afford to gamble one way or another? Obviously, even without a confrontation with Iran, we need to remain on guard.
