Syria-Lebanon-Iran
Hezbollah leader said to be hiding in Iranian Embassy
2006-07-28
Intelligence reports indicate the leader of Hezbollah is hiding in a foreign mission in Beirut, possibly the Iranian Embassy, according to U.S. and Israeli officials.

Israeli military and intelligence forces are continuing to hunt for Sheik Hassan Nasrallah, Hezbollah's secretary-general, who fled his headquarters in Beirut shortly before Israeli jets bombed the building last week. "We think he is in an embassy," said one U.S. official with access to the intelligence reports, while Israeli intelligence speculates Sheik Nasrallah is hiding in the Iranian Embassy.

If confirmed, the reports could lead to an Israeli air strike on the embassy, possibly leading to a widening of the conflict, said officials who spoke on the condition of anonymity. Foreign embassies are sovereign territory and an attack on an embassy could be considered an act of war.Though invading it and taking the staff hostage is fine.

#8  Well, if the Israelis do blow up the Iranian embassy, I hope they do a good enough job of it to leave a deep crater, and only a deep crater. If a half-block in all directions is also leveled, it should be fair warning to anyone who even wants to be *near* Iran in the future.

#6  There was one report that the Iranian embassy is where the Israeli hostages are located. Wouldn't want to bomb them I'd think.

#5  Look at the bright side. This is a great opportunity to bring Iran into the war. East collides with West.

I think Iran gave up any Embassy protections in 1979. I think as long as the Israeli pilots are all 'students' it should be ok to drop a dozen or so bunker-busters on it.

What can the Iranian president say? He is the one who opened that partucular can of worms.

#3  Coming from a major outlet, the Washington Times, this is excellent stuff! The linkages (Hezbollah, Syria, Iran) are transparent to Rantburgers and those not willfully blinded, but are studiously ignored in "international" and political circles. Such reporting is tearing the cover off and exposing it in a way that will make the farce impossible to maintain, not to mention giving credence to Bush's statements. That must make some moonbats dizzy and nauseous, LOL.

What in the world would Nasrallah, a Lebanese "citizen", in civilian clothes, be doing riding around in a Syrian Intelligence Agency car meeting with Syria's leader and an Iranian NSC official?

LOL. Wonderful stuff! The most foolish dolts in the US Senate will have to take notice and vote accordingly on the stymied resolution regards Iran! There's no cover remaining. Ya gotta love it. Eventually, as more and more comes in, even tools such as the BBC will find it difficult to maintain pretenses.

It would be "nice", although not necessary (Thanks, GWB!), if more people in the world took their Israeli and US hatred down a notch or three by hearing some truth without the usual agenda varnish. This is the sort of information that makes that possible.

#2  If some Kaytush's from "somewhere" were to like accidently hit it... why since Israel doesn't use them it would be like just an "INDUSTRIAL ACCIDENT".
