Lebanon's leading Shia cleric Grand Ayatollah Mohammed Hussein Fadlallah has been hospitalized for internal bleeding in the capital city of Beirut. According to reports, liver complications caused the bleeding.
A statement issued by Behnam hospital where Fadlallah is being treated described his condition as "stable," rejecting rumors that the revered cleric is in critical condition.
A harsh critic of US policies in the Middle East, Fadlallah was the target of several assassination attempts, including the allegedly CIA-sponsored and Saudi-funded 1985 Beirut car bombing that killed 80 people. | ||

#1 From Google He supported the ideals of Iran's Islamic Revolution and advocated the corresponding Islamic movement in Lebanon. In his sermons, he called for armed resistance to the Israeli occupations of Lebanon, the West Bank, and the Gaza Strip, along with opposition to the existence of Israel. He holds relatively liberal views on the status of women. May he die slowly and in great pain. |
