This afternoon Richard Lafayette of Global Crisis Watch hosted a counterterrorism roundtable, attended by Daveed Gartenstein-Ross, Douglas Farah, Nir Boms of the Center for Freedom in the Middle East, and myself. The main topic was the crisis in the Middle East, including the mood in Israel, Israel’s response to Hezbollah’s attack, and Iran, Syria, and Imad Mugniyah’s roles in the conflict.
Nir Boms joined us live from Haifa, Israel, which just today was struck by a Hezbollah rocket attack that killed 8 and wounded dozens. Mr. Bom describes Haifa as a “ghost town” after the rocket attacks.
The podcast also includes an interview with B. Raman of the South Asia Analysis Group. The topic is the Mumbai rail bombings and the role of Pakistani terrorist groups.
Also, Radioblogger has the recording of my appearance on Hugh Hewitt’s Saturday evening broadcast, where we discussed the situation in the Middle East, Hezbollah’s sophistcated weaponry and Iran’s direct involvement in this crisis. Radioblogger has the audio for the full three hour program.
