Algerian daily «Algérie Times » confirmed that Polisario militiamen are trained in the Tunnel War, under the supervision of military experts of the Iran-backed Chiite Hezbollah. The Polisario militias receive from Lebanese Hezbollah military experts continuous training in tunnels, dug under the Moroccan defense wall, in anticipation of the resumption of hostilities against Morocco, the Algerian daily stated in a story on its website. Morocco revealed Tuesday that Hezbollah was arming and training the Algeria-backed Polisario and announced its decision to cut diplomatic ties with Iran, Hezbollah’s Godfather. Morocco has decided to sever its diplomatic relations with Iran in protest against the military support provided by the Iranian-backed Hezbollah group to the Polisario separatists. These new revelations about the presence of Hezbollah military officials in Algeria and their training of Polisario separatists on urban warfare confirm once more that hostility to Morocco has become Algiers’ doctrine.
