Hezbollah Helped From West?

Fox News

Israeli intelligence has complained that Hezbollah terrorists had some help from the West in targeting Israeli soldiers after the IDF found 250 British night-vision goggles in a Hezbollah stronghold.

Turns out, the state-of-the-art equipment was shipped to Iran in 2003 under a U.N. program to combat rampant drug smuggling through the country's northern mountains. British officials are working to determine how the goggles ended up in Hezbollah's hands.

Meanwhile, an Israeli spokesman tells the San Francisco Chronicle the goggles were found in a highly sophisticated command and control center, saying: "We're talking here about hundreds of millions of dollars given by Iran to Hezbollah in the last six years."
