| IDF grabs Lebanese hard boy... |
| 2002-10-30 |
| A senior Lebanese guerrilla who was sent to Israel to organize Palestinian attacks has been arrested, the government said Wednesday. Fawzi Ayoub, 38, who fought with the Lebanese guerrilla group Hezbollah, was arrested in June, a statement from the prime minister's office said. And they're just letting it out now? That's a pretty long conversation... Ayoub is a senior Hezbollah fighter who took part in operations in and outside Lebanon, "including events in which many civilians were casualties," the Israeli statement said. Ayoub spent some years in Canada, the statement said. Reynald Doiron, a spokesman for Canada's Department of Foreign Affairs, said Wednesday that Ayoub held Canadian citizenship. He said Canada was notified of his arrest in late June and immediately requested consular access to Ayoub. Bet they're cheesed. If they'd known, maybe Chretien could have had him sprung by now... |
