And while the Iranians bully the gulf, and the US prepares to get out of the ENTIRE region by 2009

Brits warned Iran forming European network for strategic attacks

Why worry about BM-25's and Shahab's when the IRGC and Hizballah can just fly into Heathrow and CDG?

LONDON — Iran is establishing a sleeper network to attack strategic facilities throughout Europe. The British Parliament was told that Teheran has been preparing to strike critical sites should the United States attack Iran's nuclear plants.

A leading analyst said Iran has drawn up European targets, including nuclear power stations. "We have serious signals that something is under preparation in Europe," said Claude Moniquet, president of the European Strategic Intelligence and Security Center.

"Iranian intelligence is working extremely hard to prepare its people and to prepare actions." In a briefing to Parliament on May 22, Moniquet said his private Brussels-based institute has acquired information that Iran was forming a sleeper network across Europe.

Teheran is also deploying intelligence agents to help designate targets.

Moniquet said Iranian sleepers could be ordered to attack people on the streets of London.

He said the methods used would be similar to attacks on British soldiers in southern Iraq. Parliamentarians at the meeting said some of Moniquet's assertions were echoed in previous briefings by British intelligence. They did not elaborate.

"We are already involved in military operations with Iran," parliamentarian Patrick Mercer said.
