WikiLeaks releases emails about Stratfor’s investigation into Ethiopian airlines flight 409 crash
On 1 February, 2010, Stratfor analyst Reva Bhalla sent an "Insight" to Stratfor analysts regarding the plane crash, which included accounts from several sources of the peculiar circumstances surrounding the flight. Bhalla says that a Lebanese military source (with level B reliability) claimed there were 20 Hezbollah operatives on the plane transporting explosives to deliver to Hezbollah sleeper cells in Uganda and Kenya. Another source, called a "Hezbollah media source," (who Bhalla later comments is of course highly prone to disinfo and his information should be regarded as suspect)
Nasrallah, Assange and injustice in Syria
Which devotee of the anti-globalization left, enlivened by anti-Americanism, could resist a frisson of pleasure when watching Julian Assange interview Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, Hezbollah s secretary-general? And on the Kremlin-backed Russia Today channel, no less. Getting Nasrallah to chat earlier this week was a coup for the founder of WikiLeaks, but not an unexpected one. The Hezbollah leader, when he grants interviews to Westerners at all, generally does so with those who share his passion for sticking it to Washington.
Assad didn’t deny Syria arms transfer to Hezbollah
French President Nicolas Sarkozy s adviser on Middle East affairs, Boris Boillon, was also sent, at the beginning of December 2008, to brief the Americans after his meeting, at the end of November, with Syrian President Bashar Assad in Damascus, together with Sarkozy s senior diplomatic adviser Jean-David Levitte and general secretary of the Elysee Claude Gueant.
