Spies on guard for Hezbollah strike in Canada
Federal officials have spent months probing “chatter” involving suspected members of the outlawed Hezbollah organization possibly discussing attacks on targets in Canada, but have fallen short of proving a plot exists.
On Thursday, ABC News leaked details of an ongoing international intelligence investigation including allegations that up to 20 “sleeper cell” suspects from the Lebanon-based group were activated, including a “weapons expert” spotted “at a firing range south of Toronto.”
It was also reported that spy agencies overheard remarks about possible plots against Israeli embassies and consulates.
