Hizballah Resupply Route Ran Through Turkey
[New York Sun] Eli Lake - In the days prior to the August 14 cease-fire, a shipment of spare parts and components for mobile missile launchers was sent by truck from Iran through Turkey to Syria and then into northern Lebanon before being funneled down to front-line Hizballah terrorists in southern Lebanon. The information that Turkey, a NATO ally and a candidate for EU membership, allowed the transshipment of Iranian arms to Hizballah caused so much concern in Washington that a formal representation to the Turkish government was made to express America's displeasure. However, the Bush administration is now satisfied that the Turks will monitor their border with Iran more aggressively.
