DEBKAfile Exclusive: Al Qaeda appears to be preparing a large-scale terrorist attack on Israeli and UNIFIL forces in South Lebanon
September 14, 2006, 11:37 PM (GMT+02:00)
According to some Western and Lebanese intelligence sources, al Qaeda has named veteran Abu Rush al-Miqati, 56, an old Middle East hand, to organize the attack. Lebanese interior minister Ahmad Fatfat reports 13 al Qaeda cells are operating in Lebanon and are being mustered for the attack.
The Italian defense minister Arturo Parisi, who visited Italian forces at Ras a Maroun in South Lebanon, reminded them that al Qaeda’s Ayman Zawahiri this week stated that UNIFIL forces in Lebanon faced attack as “enemies of Islam.” Parisi said
he was not surprised by al Qaeda’s message and warned the soldiers their mission could be “long, risky, costly and difficult.” But we are here, he said, to defend the security of Israel and strengthen Lebanon’s ability to control its territory.
“We know the terrorists are not on our side.” Italy has agreed to send up to 3,000 soldiers to Lebanon, making it the biggest contributor to the UN`s force there. Over a thousand Italians are already deployed.
All UN troops in South Lebanon are on terrorist alert.
French sources report that a new message was posted on Islamist websites by Deputy al-Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahiri, calling on a militant Algerian Islamist group to target France. In a taped recording Zawahiri called on the Algerian GSPC group to become “a bone in the throat of the American and French crusaders”. He also urged the GSPC – the Salafist Group for Preaching and Combat – to sow fear “in the hearts of the traitors and the apostate sons of France” and to crush the “pillars of the Crusader alliance”. Prime minister Dominique de Villepain advises treating this warning with the greatest seriousness. France must prepare for the worst, he said.

“Once the occupiers are out, many of Iraq`s problems will be resolved,” Iran’s Ali Khamenei tells visiting Iraqi PM Nouri al-Maliki Wednesday
September 13, 2006, 9:15 PM (GMT+02:00)
He attributed part of Iraq’s problems to “foreign occupiers” and “the performance of the former tyrant regime” for another. Iran considers it its duty to extend practical assitance to the Iraqi people and government, including backing Iraq’s recovery of its sovereingty.
In Baghad , car bombs killed 22 people in Baghdad Wednesday and police found 60 bodies bound, tortured and shot – most in Sunni districts but some also in Shiite districts neighborhoods of the capital.

IDF: Egypt not stopping Smuggling
Yaakov Katz, THE JERUSALEM POST
September 14, 2006
While Egypt is making efforts to stop the smuggling of arms into the Gaza Strip, at least one ton
of explosives is being conveyed across the Sinai border Gaza each month, a high-ranking IDF officer revealed on Thursday.
Following Israel’s withdrawal from Gaza last year, Egypt deployed 750 border policemen along the border with Gaza in agreement with Israel. The force, the officer said, has proven to be “ineffective” in stopping the smuggling into Gaza despite the Egyptian government’s interest and readiness to assist Israel in preventing the terror buildup in the Palestinian territory.
Besides being a breeding ground for Islamic extremists, the Sinai desert was also a main conduit for high-grade explosives, grenades and anti-tank missiles that were being transferred into Gaza, the officer revealed.
The source of the weaponry, the officer said, was from various countries, including Iran and Egypt’ s
southern neighbor Sudan.
“The smuggling must be thwarted before it reaches Sinai,” the officer said. “There are loads of explosives in the desert.
Some is transferred to Gaza and some is used for the attacks against targets in the Sinai.”
The officer further revealed that Palestinian terrorists have traveled to Iran for terror training following which they returned to the Gaza Strip.
Palestinian terror groups in Gaza, he said, were also trying to import and in some cases manufacture advanced homemade anti-aircraft and anti-tank missiles. He said Hizbullah had representatives stationed in the Gaza Strip.
“They want to import or develop on their own new weapons that they don’t have,” the officer said. “Our job is to try to stop them from succeeding.”
Meanwhile Thursday, the Shin Bet (Israel Security Agency) revealed for publication that in a joint operation with the IDF last month it arrested an operative of the Palestinian Popular Resistance Committees in Gaza who revealed the location of a terror tunnel being dug under the Karni cargo crossing into Gaza.
Majad Kambaz, 29, of Gaza was arrested last month for alleged involvement in terror activity against Israel.
Kambaz revealed to his interrogators the exact location of the tunnel that was being dug under the security fence and the Karni crossing.
The terrorists planned to plant a large amount of explosives inside the tunnel and under the offices of the Israeli administration station at Karni that is in charge of the transfer of goods to the Palestinian population in Gaza.
