TEL AVIV – The suicide bombing here last night that killed four Israelis and wounded over 50 was funded and directed by Hezbollah forces, which may have paid up to $100,000 for the attack, security sources told WorldNetDaily.

A suicide bomber detonated a powerful explosive, reportedly about 66 pounds, around 11:30 p.m. last night among patrons waiting outside the seaside nightclub Stage in the packed Herbert Samuel promenade popular with young Israelis.

The three main terror groups – Hamas, Islamic Jihad and the Al Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades – denied involvement, and none hung the customary posters of congratulations at the bomber's home. An Islamic Jihad cell had earlier taken credit for the blast, but the faction's leadership in the Gaza Strip denied any knowledge, considered an unusual response if indeed the group was responsible.

The bomber was identified as Abdullah Badran, 21, a university student from the village of Deir al-Ghusun near the West Bank town of Tulkarem. Earlier today, Israeli forces arrested two of Badran's brothers and four neighbors, including a local mosque preacher. It was not immediately clear whether all were suspects, or if the brothers were taken to provide DNA samples for identification of the bomber.

Israeli security sources, working in part with Palestinian preventative security, say a group of terrorists, mostly from Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigades and some from Islamic Jihad, working for Hezbollah, was responsible for the blast. They say Hezbollah has created a terror apparatus of Palestinian militants in the West Bank receiving full-time salaries from the Lebanese group.

Palestinian security the past few weeks has intercepted a series of communications, including phone calls and e-mails, between Hezbollah and West Bank terrorists indicating Hezbollah had been trying to recruit suicide bombers to carry out attacks that would sabotage a truce reached by Israel and the Palestinian Authority earlier this month, sources say.

One official said intercepted bank transactions suggested Hezbollah had raised its cash offers to Palestinian terrorists and is now willing to pay $100,000 for a suicide bombing operation. In the past, information indicated Hezbollah would pay $20,000 for such attacks.

Iraq: Saddam's Half Brother Captured
By SAMEER N. YACOUB, Associated Press Writer

BAGHDAD, Iraq - Sabawi Ibrahim Hasan, a half brother of Saddam Hussein who was the former dictator's intelligence chief before becoming a presidential adviser, has been captured, officials in the prime minister's office said Sunday.

Hasan is No. 36 on the list of 55 most-wanted Iraqis released by U.S. authorities after troops invaded Iraq in March 2003, and one of only 12 remaining at large. He is also suspected of financing insurgents in the post-Saddam era, and Washington had put a $1 million bounty on his head.
 
Syria Hands Saddam's Half Brother to Iraq

2 hours, 58 minutes ago Middle East - AP

By TODD PITMAN, Associated Press Writer

BAGHDAD, Iraq - Iraqi officials said Sunday that Syria captured and handed over Saddam Hussein 's half brother, a most-wanted leader in the Sunni-based insurgency, ending months of Syrian denials that it was harboring fugitives from the ousted Saddam regime. Iraq authorities said Damascus acted in a gesture of goodwill.

Sabawi Ibrahim al-Hassan, who shared a mother with Saddam, was nabbed along with 29 other fugitive members of the former dictator's Baath Party in Hasakah in northeastern Syria, 30 miles from the Iraqi border, the officials said on condition of anonymity. The U.S. military in Iraq had no immediate comment.


Syria is under intense pressure from the United States, the United Nations (news - web sites), France and Israel to drop its support for radical groups in the Middle East, to stop harboring Iraqi fugitives and to remove its troops from Lebanon.

As thousands of Arabs demonstrated for freedom and democracy in Beirut and Cairo last week, and the desperate dictators of Syria and Egypt squirmed under domestic and international pressure, it was hard not to wonder whether the regional transformation that the Bush administration hoped would be touched off by its invasion of Iraq is, however tentatively, beginning to happen.

Americans understand terrorism. Stop the press. The most Isolationist country on the planet, wants to understand how this works.

Don't make me laugh.

Learn about the world you live in, don't just quote news sources.

Get a passport, travel and be humble.

Our societies have been around alot longer than yours. Drop the arrogance.
 
Get a passport & travel. Ok...in 1983-1985 I traveled. Extensively. I came home & kissed the ground I lived on. I became seriously more conservative then. I saw the effects of socialism, firt hand. I saw the affect the Soviet Union had on its people. I was supposed to travel thru the East/West Berlin Wall. I didn't. I figured that if they can't come see me, I certainly won't pass teh American Dollar over there.

Thank You Ronald Reagan.

No I can't afford to go back & see the rest of Berlin. :shrug:

Oh, the most isolationist country on the planet has a history of freeing those in need & in bondage.
 
Yep. The end game often is far more brutal & bloody than its predecessor battles. Notice, it's real hard to find the story about the van the Iraqi police found today, full of exploding stuff, before it went boom.
 
I will tell what is IMPOSSIBLE to find

stories about US killing scores of terrorists
 
Yep those are the absent reports
to which I refer.

Any and every time their is a US causality
or any strike by the opposition it is on
the web in seconds but our successes
are ignored. If the press was pro-Us
the bias would be in the opposite direction.
 
Precisely why I start threads like this. The War on Terrorism, including the battle of Iraq, is being won (yea, I know you say already won). Even the leftist newspaper dorks are beginning ot admit that its working. It may even be working faster than I hoped.
 
yep we won
as long as Bushy's still at the helm there's
nada to worry aboot

Hillary oh eight

now there's a looming problem lol
 
Say bye bye
while you're still alive.

The terrorists are losing ground, quicky.

BAGHDAD, Iraq Mar 1, 2005 — More than 2,000 people demonstrated Tuesday at the site of a car bombing south of Baghdad that killed 125 people, chanting "No to terrorism!"

An Internet statement purportedly by Abu Musab al-Zarqawi's al-Qaida in Iraq group claimed responsibility the bombing.

Pretty arrogant statement right there. :shrug:

We are arrogant, Adversely nothing was said when the USA allowed the IRA to operate as a charity, collecting $15 million a year.

The IRA were viewed as freedom fighters back then. Funny how that changes.
