Report: Hezbollah probing al-Qaida actions
Published: Nov. 15, 2007 at 7:47 AM
The report said Hezbollah security officials suspect al-Qaida made a failed assassination attempt last summer against Hezbollah Secretary-General Sheik Hassan Nasrallah and several al-Qaida members arrested said they had fired rockets into Israel.
The Arab-language newspaper said Lebanese security officials identified three al-Qaida cells operating in southern Lebanon and had seized explosives and 150 pounds of cyanide and other chemicals.
Other intelligence said al-Qaida members planned to attack U.N. peacekeepers to make it look like Hezbollah activity, Ynetnews.com said.
Both al-Qaida and Hezbollah are considered terrorist groups by the majority of Western countries.
