Hezbollah Expected To Be A Major Threat By 2014 By David Bedein, Middle East

*Jerusalem — *Hezbollah could be one of the first security challenges faced
by the new Obama administration. An official government report concludes the
Iranian-backed Islamic terror group has been forming sleeper cells
throughout the United States that could become operational.

The report estimates Hezbollah could become a much more potent national
security threat by 2014. The group was responsible for the 1983 Beirut
Marine Barracks bombing, which killed 241 U.S. Marines and 58 French
servicemen.

"The Lebanese Shiite group Hezbollah does not have a known history
of
fomenting attacks inside the U.S., but that could change if there is
some
kind of 'triggering' event, the homeland assessment cautions," the
report
said.

The report, obtained by the Middle East Newsline and marked "for official
use only," did not define a "triggering
event." Most of the threats cited in
the report had been raised by the
Homeland Security Department.

The 38-page report, titled 2008 Interagency Intelligence Committee
on
Terrorism, said Hezbollah was being directed by the leadership in Lebanon
as
well as Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC).

The assessment said the
Hezbollah network in the United States was engaged
in money laundering, drug
trafficking, weapons smuggling and extortion.

The terror group has also established fundraising connections with
mainstream American Muslim organizations, among the most notable being the
case of Abdurahman Alamoudi, the former head of the American Muslim Council.
Mr. Alamoudi, prior to his having pleaded guilty in 2004 for having tried to
launder Libyan money for various terror groups, actively worked to raise
money for Hezbollah among others. He also formerly helped oversee the
appointment of Islamic chaplains in the U.S. military.

Hezbollah is one of several terrorist threats to the United States
over the
next five years, the report said. The report also cited al-Qaida as
a
leading threat, saying the Islamic network was focusing on striking
strategic U.S. facilities.

"The threat of terrorism and the threat of extremist ideologies has
not
abated," former Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff said prior
to leaving office yesterday. "This threat has not evaporated, and we can't
turn the page on it."
