PA Warns of Hezbollah Threats
By Matthew Levitt
While U.S. and Israeli authorities have been warning of Hezbollah's increasing support for Palestinian terrorist groups for some time, the issue is suddenly getting serious attention because the Palestinians now concur. "We know that Hizballah has been trying to recruit suicide bombers in the name of al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades to carry out attacks which would sabotage the truce," one Palestinian official said. A resolution is circulating in the House calling on the EU to add Hezbollah to its list of terrorist organizations, and, at the behest of the Palestinians, some Europeans are seriously considering the request.
