New York, NY - Hezbollah Terrorist Sleeper Cell Suspected In The City

New York, NY - Investigations by the F.B.I. and the Justice Department revealed last that the Lebanon-based terrorist group Hezbollah may be plotting attacks, and these attacks may be launched by their sleeper cells in New York and several other US cities. According to the Canadian Security Intelligence Service. Hezbollah's largest headquarters outside of the Middle East is located in Toronto.

Law-enforcement and intelligence officials are quoted as saying that though there is no imminent threat of any attacks, security has been stepped up after the reports of a meeting between Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and leaders of Hezbollah and other terror groups during his recent visit to Syria.
Also is the Iranian Mission to the United Nations in New York City being kept under surveillance by federal and local intelligence officers. The New York City Police Department possesses one of the largest intelligence divisions in the world.

Hezbollah's growing international terrorist activity has raised concerns that the terrorist group may be emerging as a more serious threat than previously considered.
