Hezballah in Iraq Using Lebanon-stye Tactics in Basra
When you read the News reports about the Iraqi Army’s battles in Basra they sound reminiscent of Israel’s battles in the Second Lebanon War. It seems that the terrorists are using the same tactics as those in Lebanon. That should be no surprise. It has reported that as the British cut and ran out of Basra, Hizballah moved in—and now the Iraqi Army is trying to get them out—and the British are back in. Hizballah has joined the armed Shiite groups and criminal gangs battling for control of Basra and its oil resources. Ignored by the international media, the Iraqi Hizballah draws on its Lebanese command for orders, fighters, arms and cash. A tentacle of the Lebanese Shiite terror group has therefore quietly grabbed a piece of the insurgent action in Iraq under the aegis of Iran’s Revolutionary Guards al Qods Brigades.
