'Hezbollah planned huge terror attacks in Tel Aviv'

[oberliner]

Hezbollah operatives caught in Egypt planned to carry out massive terror attacks in Tel Aviv, the Egyptian newspaper Almasry Alyoum reported Thursday.

The paper based the report on the testimonies of two Palestinians from the Fatah movement, who are being held in Egypt on suspicion of belonging to a Hezbollah cell. They reportedly told Egyptian investigators that Tel Aviv was one target in Israel for which they were trained to perpetrate large-scale suicide bombings.

According to the report, Egyptian officials began interrogating the Palestinian detainees on Tuesday.

The Palestinians said that the Hezbollah cell, which consisted of 49 men, had been trained in a number of countries, including Sudan and Libya, the Cairo-based paper said.

I'm kind of glad they were caught before killing a lot of innocent people.
