Debkafile: Hizbullah Planned Mumbai-Style Attack on Chabad of Bangkok

Debkafile

Thai forensic experts carry packs of explosive chemicals believed to belong to a Lebanese suspect at a commercial building in Samut Sakhon province, a suburb of Bangkok.

The Thai police’s capture of a Lebanese-Swedish Hizballah suspect, who was charged Monday, Jan. 16, thwarted a terrorist attack on the Beit Chabad in Bangkok, involving the taking of hostages and blowing up the building. It was to have followed the same lines as al Qaeda’s 2008 assault on the Mumbai Chabad center which killed 8 Israelis and Jews – only more ambitious. The Bangkok Chabad is much larger: its hostel has rooms for dozens of lodgers. [Update: Chabad Taking threat seriously.]
