The Jerusalem Post reports:
Israeli security sources are closely monitoring the arrest and
investigation of a Lebanese citizen in Larnaca, Cyprus, who is
suspected of being a Hezbollah operative caught in possession of a
massive quantity of explosive material.
Cypriot police suspect a
man arrested on Wednesday was planning an attack on Israeli interests
on the island after they found almost two tons of ammonium nitrate in
his basement, newspapers on the island reported on Friday.
The
26-year-old man is Lebanese-born and has a Canadian passport. He was
detained by police after authorities discovered the stockpile.
Security
sources in Israel assess that the apartment in which the suspect was
captured was a Cyprus-based explosive material storeroom that belonged
to Hezbollah, and which was supposed to constitute an outlet for
carrying out a large-scale series of terror attacks across Europe
against Jewish, Israeli, and Western targets. More.
