NEOCON PAPER PUSHES AN AL-QAEDA/911/HIZB ALLAH CONNECTION

The publication run by William Kristol, The Weekly Standard, had published an article by Thomas Joscelyn entitled Bin Laden's "Brothers" . Joscelyn argues that although al-Qaeda is Sunni and Hizb Allah is Shia and that therefore the two cannot work together, actually there is, and has been, a working relationship between the two. Joscelyn also points out that the piece of bollocks we know as the 9/11 Commission Report left open the possibility that Hizb Allah played a significant part in the 9/11 attacks, a possibility which deserves more investigation!!

The last three paragraphs of the report read

The testimony provided by Ali Mohamed and Jamal al Fadl was corroborated by the 9/11 Commission. The Commission's final report confirms that al Qaeda operatives received training from Hezbollah in Lebanon in addition to other training provided in Iran. The Commission also left open the possibility that al Qaeda and Hezbollah worked together on the 1996 Khobar Towers bombing.

Remarkably, the Commission even left the door open for further investigation into the September 11 attacks. It cited evidence that senior Hezbollah operatives monitored the travels of eight to ten of the "muscle" hijackers prior to the attack. Such provocative threads of evidence led the Commission to report, "We believe this topic requires further investigation by the U.S. government."

Some analysts will continue to dismiss Zawahiri's remarks because they do not conform to the prevailing model for understanding terrorism. But the truth is that there is a long history of collaboration between al Qaeda and Hezbollah
.


What this does is link al-Qaeda and Hizb Allah in the confused American mind, perhaps even preparing America for the US military to be sucked into the 'war' on Lebanon and The Gaza Strip.
