New York Police Link Nine 2012 Plots to Iran, Proxies

New York police believe Iranian Revolutionary Guards or their proxies have been involved so far this year in nine plots against Israeli or Jewish targets around the world, Reuters reported Friday, July 20. Reports prepared this week by intelligence analysts for the New York Police Department (NYPD) detail two plots in Bangkok and one each in New Delhi, Tbilisi, Baku, Mombasa and Cyprus, as well as last week’s suicide bomb attack in Bulgaria, which was the second plot to be unmasked there this year. Each plot was attributed to Iran or its Lebanese Hizballah allies, said the reports. In a two-page summary, NYPD analysts said that through its own Revolutionary Guard and Hizballah, Iran had “sharply increased its operational tempo and its willingness to conduct terrorist attacks targeting Israeli interests and the International Jewish community worldwide.”
