Nusra Front threatened several weeks ago that their agents were in Lebanon ready to strike Hezbollah targets. As we have seen the last month, Hezbollah targets have been struck. Now a group calling itself the Free Sunni Baalbek Brigade killed an Iranian trainer stationed at a Hezbollah camp.
The “Free Sunni Baalbek Brigade” announced on Friday killing an Iranian military trainer in the Bekaa region.
“We claim responsibility for a heroic operation that targeted a top Iranian military trainer on Thursday at a drill camp,” the brigade said on its Twitter account, noting that the operation’s name is “in the heart of the enemy.”
It added: “The attack was carried out at a Hizbullah controlled site in the Hermel plains (in the Bekaa).”
The operation created an atmosphere of panic and confusion among party members, the statement remarked.
“Hizbullah is trying to conceal what had happened.”
This has Nusra Front written all over it.
In other Syrian War news, the US accuses Iran of playing a double game in the Syrian War.
BEIRUT: Tehran is assisting Al-Qaeda operatives based in Iran to transfer Sunni fighters to Syria, the Obama administration charged Thursday.
The accusation, detailed in new sanctions imposed by the U.S. Treasury Department targeting Iranian terror links, suggests Iranian officials are backing opposing sides in the Syrian civil war.
Olimzhon Adkhamovich Sadikov, described by the Treasury Department as an Iran-based Islamic Jihad Union facilitator who “operates there with the knowledge of Iranian authorities,” was designated for providing logistical support and funding to Al-Qaeda’s Iran-based network.
This is very interesting.
