Top Hezbollah Man Killed, Israel CreditedBlamed
2013-12-04
Hezbollah on Wednesday said one of its leaders had been assassinated near Beirut and accused Israel of being behind the killing.

"The Islamic resistance announces the death of one of its leaders, the martyr Hassan Hawlo al-Lakiss, who was assassinated near his house in the Hadath region" east of Beirut, Hezbollah television channel Al Manar said.

"Direct accusation is aimed of course against the Israeli enemy which had tried to eliminate our martyred brother again and again and in several places but had failed, until yesterday evening," a Hezbollah statement broadcast by the channel said.

#2  La-kiss of death. Isn't Kahn Kerry on his way to Hezbollah to negotiate? How come he never gets any credit for these assassinations?

#1  "Israel blamed"????

Shouldn't that be Israel congratulated or lauded or feted?
