Following
last week's report that the top leader of the terrorist group Hezbollah
warned the United States government that any attack by the U.S.
military on Iran would result in violence throughout the Middle East,
the Syrian and Iranian-backed Hezbollah boasted Wednesday it had
"vanquished" the U.S Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) and Israel's intelligence group Mossad
"Our security... has exposed several
American and Israeli plots on Lebanon," Hezbollah Member of the Lebanese
Parliament, Hassan Fadlallah, said to reporters outside parliament.
"We
call on the Lebanese government to take immediate action... and raise
the issue with the United Nations and embassies, so that the whole world
is aware of what the U.S. embassy in Lebanon is doing," he added.
Fadlallah
claimed that Hezbollah had succeeded in uncovering Central Intelligence
Agency operatives that had infiltrated that terrorist group's ranks.
"Lebanese intelligence vanquished US and Israeli intelligence in what is now known as the intelligence war," Fadlallah said.
The
MP's comments comes only a few days after reports emerged that
Hezbollah had uncovered several operatives within its ranks who were
allegedly "assets" or informants for the CIA.
In the first
acknowledgement of infiltration since the Shiite group's founding in the
1980s, Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah in June said members of his
group had confessed to being CIA agents.
Nasrallah accused
Hezbollah's archenemy Israel of turning to the US spy agency after
failing to infiltrate his party - slamming the American embassy in
Beirut as a "den of spies."
The US embassy in Beirut dismissed the accusations as "empty".
Ironically,
Fadlallah's claims came the morning after a Hezbollah munitions
warehouse said to be housing a downed IDF drone was destroyed by a large
explosion in what the terror group has called an act of sabotage.
Reports
in the media following the explosion have speculated the warehouse -
located near the port city of Tyre - was destroyed by the CIA, Mossad,
or both. Details, however, remain unclear as Hezbollah will not let
UNIFIL or Lebanese security officials near the site.
More than 100
people in Lebanon have been arrested on suspicion of spying for Israel
since April 2009, including military personnel and telecoms employees.
Lebanon
and Israel technically remain in a state of war and convicted spies
face life imprisonment or the death sentence if found guilty of
contributing to Lebanese loss of life.
