Dr. Ely Karmon: "Who Bombed Northern Israel?"
By Evan Kohlmann
My esteemed colleague Dr. Ely Karmon, Senior Research Scholar at the Institute for Counter-Terrorism in Herzlyia, has written a new paper this month on Al-Qaida's recent expansion of terrorist activities directly targeting the state of Israel. I draw the attention of readers to one excerpt in particular:
"[Abu Musab al-] Zarqawi is drawing up a plan which would include the passage of Taliban supporters from Afghanistan through Iran to Iraq, the free movement of thousands of Zarqawi's people through the territory of a weakened Syrian regime and the opportunity to infiltrate into Lebanon. The situation in Lebanon will not remain stable, as the Sunnis in Lebanon and Syria are supportive of al-Qaida's doctrine."
Even if Zarqawi's dreams of building a jihad highway to Palestine are a little farfetched, this will not prevent his fanatical followers from committing future atrocities and creating havoc throughout "Greater Syria."
