Six United Nations peacekeepers from Tanzania patrolling the streets of southern Lebanon survived a bomb attack on Monday, the Lebanon Daily Star reported. Monday’s attack comes on the heels of a car bomb explosion on June 23 that killed six Spanish peacekeepers and wounded three others.

More than 13,000 UN peacekeepers are currently stationed in southern Lebanon under Security Council Resolution 1701, a program designed to stabilize the region after last summer’s war between Hezbollah and Israel. The explosion of two bombs inside of a month has authorities concerned that Islamic terrorists are ramping up attacks on UN peacekeepers in the region.

Though no one has claimed responsibility for the bombings, Israeli intelligence officials are certain that radical Islamic terrorist groups associated with al Qaeda are responsible. Authorities within Israel’s intelligence circles have been warning for months that Islamic terrorist groups, including al Qaeda and Global Jihad, were planning attacks against unifil forces in southern Lebanon.

The Jerusalem Post reported that those warnings became more serious after “Fatah al-Islam, the al Qaeda-inspired Palestinian terror group, began fighting Lebanese troops in northern Lebanon five weeks ago. The terrorists have threatened to take their battle outside northern Lebanon and other militant groups have issued Internet statements supporting Fatah al-Islam.”

Though Hezbollah denied responsibility for the attacks, and it is uncertain exactly which terrorist organization planted the bombs, Elias Bejjani discussed one fact that stands sure: “It makes no difference whatsoever which Palestinian, Lebanese or fundamentalist organization claimed credit for this crime, because all terrorist and militia organizations stationed in Lebanon today, whether Lebanese, Arab, or foreign mercenary, are financed, armed, controlled, and commanded by the intelligence services of the two axis of evil nations, Syria and Iran.”

Bejjani is right: Iran is the king of Islamic terrorism. Until the United Nations recognizes this reality and deals with it accordingly, its forces in southern Lebanon will continue to be attacked by Islamic terrorists. For a comprehensive view of this subject, read The King of the South.
