Hizbullah upset over Hamas training in Lebanon
[Ma'an] Hizbullah communicated "deep disappointment" to Hamas leadership over the discovery that the party was conducting military drills in a residential building in Lebanon without the party's knowledge, the country's An-Nahar newspaper reported Wednesday. Information around the training was uncovered during the course of an investigation into an explosion in Haret Treik that killed two Hamas members last week, the paper said. Lebanese Defense Minister Elias Al-Murr said the blast targeted Hamas Representative in Lebanon Osama Hamdan. According to the London-based Arabic daily Ash-Sharq al-Awsat, the attack was carried out as Hamas members received live ammunition training in the basement of the building under Hamas control. The daily said Hezbollah told Hamas it would not intervene, and that Hamas "would have to resolve the problem on its own." Ash-Sharq al-Awsat also reported that Hamas decided to close its office in Haret Hreik until the situation was resolved. Posted by: Fred 2010-01-07 |
