Israeli, U.S. Intelligence Tips Led to Egypt's Capture of Hizbullah Cell in Sinai
[Ha'aretz] Yossi Melman, Amos Harel and Avi Issacharoff - Foreign intelligence services, including the Israeli Mossad and the CIA, contributed information to Egypt that led to the uncovering of a Hizbullah terror cell in that country, Philippe Vasset, editor of Intelligence Online, said Monday. The head of the ring operating in Egypt, Lebanese citizen Sami Shihab, had been in touch for some time with Hizbullah. Following the death of Hizbullah's terrorist mastermind Imad Mughniyeh, its special branch has been led jointly by Nawaf al-Mussawi, Wafic Safa and Sheikh Ali Dugmush. The three operate in coordination with Gen. Faisal Bagherzadeh, head of Iran's Revolutionary Guard mission to Lebanon.
