Al-Qaida in Lebanon
Ein Hilwe: A terrorist state within a state
The G2 Bulletin reports, "Palestinian Authority counter espionage agents recently received urgent instructions to investigate new information on al-Qaida talent scouts operating in the Palestinian refugee camp of Ein Hilwe, south of Beirut on the Mediterranean coast."
It is estimated that there are at least 50,000 inhabitants in the camp, plus a large number of others habitating in the immediate vicinity. "Ein Hilwe is for all practical matters an unofficial ex-territorial area in Lebanon." It is a main attraction to jihadi recruiters for young men. "This camp, and probably similar places with a large Palestinian population, is nowadays among the most valuable sources for volunteers going to Iraq."
Today (Dec. 7th) Haaertz also is reporting that Qaida men in Lebanon said directing Gaza terrorists.
"The security establishment believes that activists from Al-Qaida in Lebanon are running Palestinian terrorists based in Gaza, sending them directives for their actions. Meanwhile, the first Palestinian to be charged with undergoing training in an Al-Qaida base in Afghanistan has confessed to most of the charges against him.
Last week Prime Minister Ariel Sharon and Chief of Staff Moshe Ya'alon said Al-Qaida is trying to send terrorists to Israel and the territories. They apparently were referring to information about Al-Qaida operatives in Lebanon, refugees from the American assault on Afghanistan who are working with Hezbollah to send directives for operations to terrorists in Gaza.
Military Intelligence believes that despite the American operations in Afghanistan, Al-Qaida operatives are still active there and are involved in trying to establish terrorist cells in the territories. Their main route is through Lebanon. Directives to a Lebanese cell of Muslim extremists who tried to blow up the Allenby Bridge and to attack Christian pilgrims on the Millennium eve, also reached them through Lebanon, and with help from the Hezbollah."
