Its counter-terror police were a step ahead of attacks plotted against several of the 10 HABAD centers in the country, part of a worldwide joint terrorist offensive against ISRAELI and Jewish targets.<br /><br />The three-man cell was captured in the ARGENTINE resort town of SAN CARLOS DE BARILOCHE, 1,680 kilometers from Buenos Aires, a favorite starting-point for ISRAELI backpackers touring PATAGONIA and the ANDES.<br />ARGENTINA'S anti-terrorist FEDERAL SPECIAL OPERATIONS GROUP, known as T4, waylaid the three terrorists on tips from US and ISRAELI intelligence. In their possession were incriminating documents and maps.<br />HABAD hospitality centers and Jewish institutions in the country were then shut down and given extra security guards, as was the ISRAELI embassy in the capital.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhd6AwTQNWcCg4sFh67NFi2sfcUxc7gE2uEYmBf7PTQhvZxfWhmHUimpaa7yPkjS6xeHtOJh3nG4tfNH3cjK4-PkPOWMaiOZ6J4zyHqb6Gz9EvClPZM8NBilEMCSUD86c24_8TJ8yDIO5bp/s1600/Bariloche+Argentina.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhd6AwTQNWcCg4sFh67NFi2sfcUxc7gE2uEYmBf7PTQhvZxfWhmHUimpaa7yPkjS6xeHtOJh3nG4tfNH3cjK4-PkPOWMaiOZ6J4zyHqb6Gz9EvClPZM8NBilEMCSUD86c24_8TJ8yDIO5bp/s200/Bariloche+Argentina.jpg" width="197" /></a></div><br />In 1992, the embassy was attacked by IRANIAN terrorists killing 29 people and injuring 242. DEBKAFILE'S intelligence and counter-terror sources reveal that one of the things the investigation seeks to discover this time is whether the captured IRANIAN-HIZBALLAH cell was given a safe house, guidance and aid by family members of World War II Nazi criminals who won sanctuary in ARGENTINA.<br /><br />At the time of the ISRAELI embassy bombing twenty years ago, the IRANIAN and HIZBALLAH terrorists were suspected of working hand in glove with local pro-Nazi elements.  ARGENTINA, GERMANY and ISRAEL never confirmed this.<br /><br />The terror alert BUENOS AIRES declared this week was also communicated to CHILE, PERU, URUGUAY and MEXICO, in case additional Iranian-Hizballah teams were heading for Israeli and Jewish targets there too.<br /><br />

The Plan

<p>First of all, thank you sweet friends for all your kind & encouraging words on my <a href="http://brings together friends, families, businesses and communities in team-based wellness challenges designed to promote positive lifestyle change">post yesterday</a>! It means so much that you’re still out there and didn’t give up on me!</p> <p>I thought I’d update you on what I’m doing to lose weight.</p> <p>As many of you know I became a <a href="http://weightloss-stories.blogspot.com/2009/07/im-still-aliveand-im-lifetimer.html">lifetime Weight Watchers</a> member in June 2009. My goal weight was 161. Why 161? No reason other than the fact I was happy with my weight there and I was ready to go for free!! So that’s what I am doing, Weight Watchers,…for life! <img alt="Winking smile" class="wlEmoticon wlEmoticon-winkingsmile" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrhHqaYYOwozwT6S80j_yKuwJZrLyzhRJC9cQrqmxsGm73kayI0pci_HD0n4keUObVh-yhikWrn9JburyA7CEBrnv4jKsRvDzP3E5tqXOf9vUALABAjbBuhDOsMVvOiE2zflfc81Y9-swf/?imgmax=800" style="border-bottom-style: none; border-left-style: none; border-top-style: none; border-right-style: none"> I’ve still got a good number of lbs to lose before I can go for free again, but it’s more than attainable and I KNOW I can do it!</p> <p>Currently I get 37 points per day. I get an additional 7 because I am nursing. Before Adelyn was solely nursing and wasn’t on solids yet I got 44 points/day. I think 37 is going to be much better for my weight loss. </p> <p>I’m also getting in about 4 workouts/week. I either go over my lunch break and get in a quick 30 minutes or I go in the evening after I’ve put Adelyn to bed. Sometimes its hard to go at almost 8pm, but I have to keep telling myself I CAN DO THIS!</p> <p>Another motivation is <a href="http://www.livehealthyiowa.org/default.aspx">Live Healthy Iowa</a>. From their website:</p> <p align="center"><em>Live Healthy Iowa brings together friends, families, businesses and communities in team-based wellness challenges designed to promote positive lifestyle change</em>. My work encouraged people to get teams together.</p> <p>So one of my staff members & I got 2 teams together and are having a little friendly competition! There are 8 members on my team and we named ourselves the “Sweat Sisters” because there are 2 sets of sisters on the team! Our main goal is activity minutes. Not only will increased activity help my weight loss, but it will also help my Live Healthy Iowa team!</p> <p>That’s the plan friends! Help me stay accountable and soon enough I will be at my lifetime weight again and won’t have to suck it in when I shimmy those jeans on! Ha! <img alt="Smile" class="wlEmoticon wlEmoticon-smile" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiP7aVuK3ftkuxRet92QylXfD_cGB2IvQ-pXBgL_Esdd-Y4C4v43QrAZaM3tP8Tl82b3cFuMVA13U4gXniIakeOP_zR0M0SKoMit26RwgJscx_E3TTDtGw_OxMiVPczSubd03FJyzTI9SwN/?imgmax=800" style="border-bottom-style: none; border-left-style: none; border-top-style: none; border-right-style: none"></p>
