Breaking Hezbollah's Golden Rule

Hezbollah Attack Plots in Cyprus and Bulgaria


Listen Later

In July 2012, police arrested a well-trained Hezbollah operative named Hossam Yaacoub in Cyprus. Less than two weeks later, a Hezbollah suicide bomb killed 5 Israelis on a tourist bus in Burgas, Bulgaria. But the group wasn’t done in Cyprus. Another operative was stockpiling explosives—and waiting to act.


Guests: 

Magnus Norell, senior policy advisor at The European Foundation for Democracy 

Carter Burwell, former counselor to the Secretary of the Treasury for Terrorism and Finance Intelligence

Nickolay Mladenov, former Bulgarian minister of foreign affairs


 

Breaking Hezbollah’s Golden Rule is hosted Dr. Matthew Levitt from the Washington Institute for Near East Policy.
