Cluebat, Meet Hezbollah in Iraq

The first clue that Hezbollah is operating in Iraq? A Shia insurgent group calling itself Hezbollah in Iraq.

The second clue? Here is a frame from a "Hezbollah in Iraq" video showing what the group claims is the firing rockets at the Green Zone. Note the symbol in the upper right.


Now note the flag of Lebanese Hezbollah.

So, if the report by the AP that Iran is using Hezbollah to train Shia militia in Iraq is "news" to you, please meet Wonderboy, my cluebat.

UPDATE: This video from Hezbollah Iraq was posted at Liveleak today. It claims to show an EFP (no doubt of Iranian make) hitting a U.S. Humvee in Baghdad. The date on it claims the attack was yesterday.

We've done a pretty good job of locating al Qaeda in Iraq cells by backtracking their internet postings. I hope some one in CENTCOM is paying attention to who is posting over at shianet.
