Jewish community negates rumours of Hezbollah attacks.

Probably the Jewish community is more likely to be a victim of homegrown anti-Semitic hoodlums rather than a Hezbollah cell attaack. U.S. intelligence agencies often base their views on inadequate, misleading, or false information. The U.S. still considers Arar an Al Qaeda agent mostly on the basis of unsifted intelligence provided by the RCMP.

Toronto - The Jewish community is re-buffing a report that Hezbollah is ready to attack Canada.
Canadian Security Intelligence Service has been hearing the rumours for months, especially after a Hezbollah leader was killed in February.
But intel officials here say it's only chatter, and there's no credible information on a specific target.
However, ABC News reports synagogues in Toronto and the Israeli embassy in Ottawa was at risk.
Bernie Farber with the Canadian Jewish Congress told 680News he's been reassured by CSIS and numerous police sources.
"It turns out to be not true atall. There's absolutely categorically no truth to this story," Farber said firmly.
Farber says he was told that there's no meat behind the rumours at this point.
Either way, Jewish organizations and the federal government are on alert.
