Hezbollah reshuffles military command...
Hizbullah has completed a major reshuffle of its military command as part of preparations for any Israeli war against the Iranian-backed insurgency force. An unidentified Iranian military officer said the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps has completed training and equipping of Hizbullah forces in southern Lebanon. The officer told the UAE Al Bayan daily that Teheran supplied mortars, rockets and other equipment to Hizbullah. "We have undergone preparations to face any developments and possible changes in the geopolitical situation in the Middle East in the event of a U.S.-led war against Iraq," the officer was reported as saying. The officer did not detail the reshuffle of the Hizbullah military command. The military leaders of the Iranian-backed movement have never been announced.
