Kidnapper Admits Role in Interrogation; Sheds Light on Syrian, Iranian Links

The IDF has released film from an interrogation of a Hezbollah member who took part in the kidnapping of two soldiers on the northern border. "My role was to stop the tank backup that was supposed to arrive to chase after the kidnappers," Hussin Ali Suleiman, 22, commander of the ant-tank unit of Hezbullah told the camera.

Suleiman was captured by IDF forces, and his interrogators released footage of the questioning on Monday. In the interrogation, Suleiman volunteered information which shed light on a range of topics linked to Hezbullah and Syria and Iran's link to activities in the area. He described his role in the kidnapping, but did not provide new information on the fate of the kidnapped soldiers.

During the interrogation Suleiman said he was not involved in the full kidnapping plot and did not know all of its details, but was aware of the general intentions. His role was to shoot anti-tank missiles on IDF tanks mobilized into the area following the kidnapping.

Is anyone really surprised that Syria and Iran are linked to this whole fiasco? I'm certainly not. But there will sure be skeptics: some will probably demand audio recordings of Ahmadinejad telling Hezbollah to carry out the kidnapping...
