KUWAITI PAPER: NASRALLAH "TO GO TO DAMASCUS TODAY"

The Kuwaiti daily al-Seyassa this morning reports that
Hizbullah leader Sheikh Nasrallah is due to travel to
Damascus today for a secret meeting with Syrian President
Bashar al-Assad and the Secretary of the Iranian Supreme
National Security Council Ali Larijani. (Larijani is also
partly in charge of Iran's nuclear program.)

The purpose of the meeting, according to the Kuwaiti paper,
is to discuss further tactics to extend their war on Israel,
and to continue to supply Iranian arms and ammunition to
Hizbullah through Syria.

Nasrallah, according to the report, will travel in an
armored vehicle belonging to Syrian intelligence, dressed
with "regular clothes" and without his turban. He will be
escorted by a Syrian Lt. General.

According to the paper, the latest speech of Nasrallah
delivered on al-Manar TV was also recorded in a Syrian
intelligence studio.

(This is the first time that these details are being
reported in English.

TEAMS of Iranian suicide bombers were heading for Lebanon"™s war zone last night in a terrifying bid to spark meltdown in the Middle East.
Twenty-seven martyrdom-seekers have been sent to Syria on their way to front line positions.

The mad fanatics, belonging to the Iranian Martyrs of Islam World Movement, have been training for months to wreak maximum havoc on military and soft civilian targets. Their aim is to spark terror which will detonate all-out war and suck Western nations into a final bloody showdown.
A spokesman for the martyrs group said yesterday : "œTwo teams of 18 and nine have gone to Syria separately.
"œThey have been deployed on a voluntary basis in order to get to the areas of conflict in any way they can."�

The man, named only as Mohammadi, claimed the 27 were picked from 55,000 who registered in Iran. They were briefed and have completed the "œrelevant courses"� so that they could perform both military services and helping the wounded.
Mohammadi added: "œIf Israel would decide to occupy Lebanon again, they will carry out martyrdom-seeking operations."�
The would-be bombers are also trained to recruit local volunteers and create new cells of suicide attackers.

All of them are fluent in Persian and Arabic, and some speak English.
Mohammadi insisted that the MIWM group has no links with Lebanon"™s Hezbollah. Another Iranian source close to the group, named as Mohammad Ali Samadi declared: "œThe first two groups of esteshhadioun (volun teers of martyrdom) have already reached Lebanon.

"œThey have received adequate training to fight beside their Lebanese brothers. They will identify Zionist targets and attack them with actions of martyrdom."�
The fanatics also aim to avenge deaths and injuries to people like those caught in the Israeli air strikes on the southern Lebanese city of Tyre.

The deployment of suicide squads will strengthen US claims that Iran is the power behind the current turmoil in Lebanon.
Security has been stepped up amid fears of suicide attacks on soft targets in Beirut and areas close to the Israeli border where fighting is raging. A Lebanese security official said: "œIt is the nightmare we"™ve been dreading."�

Israeli troops yesterday seized two Hezbollah guerrillas during fighting in Maroun al-Ras.
The death toll in the conflict continues to mount. At least three people died when Israeli warplanes struck a minibus carryin g 16 villagers fleeing from Tairi in Lebanon.

Hezbollah continued rocket attacks across northern Israel. Two people died as more than a dozen missiles hit Haifa. One was killed in a factory "” on the day residents returned to work after a week of sheltering from the bombing.
A UN observer was injured in the crossfire. Italian Capt Roberto Punzo was hit in the stomach by shrapnel. He was last night undergoing surgery.
