Irish Terrorists Aiding Iranian Jihadists

Members of Continuity-IRA in terrorism training. This group's frightening, Islamic Jihadist-reminiscent website is here. Also of particular interest is this page.


Story here. (Emphasis mine)

(...) a link has been found between an IRA splinter group and Iran's Hezbollah terrorist organization. MI6 – supported by U.S. satellite surveillance and undercover agents in Iran from Israel's vaunted spy agency, Mossad – have tracked Irish bomb makers to three factories in the Lavizan surburb in northern Tehran.

Earlier this year, the six-man Continuity-IRA team traveled from Dublin to Frankfurt and onward to Damascus. From there they were brought in an Iranian military aircraft to Tehran, G2 Bulletin reports.

"Their arrival marked an axis of evil we most feared," said a senior MI6 officer. "This brings global terrorism to a new level."

In Washington, Alireza Jafarzadah, a former member of the Washington-based Iran Policy Committee, said the Tehran workshops where the six Irish bombers are working are "highly sophisticated." The Irish are primarily providing their expertise in how to make and disguise infrared triggering devices.



Just learned this. And I don't like the sound of it.

Irish terrorists associating with Islamic jihadists. Damn. That could complicate things.
