Al-Nusra Front Threatens to Target Hizbullah Strongholds in Lebanon
2013-10-20
[An Nahar] An official in the fundamentalist al-Nusra Front has threatened to target Hizbullah strongholds in Leb in response to the party's involvement in the fighting in Syria alongside the country's regime, reported the Kuwaiti al-Seyassah daily on Saturday.

He vowed that the front will respond to the killing of Syrians by targeting Hizbullah strongholds of Dahieh in Beirut, the Bekaa city of Baalbek, and southern Leb, a military leader of the Syrian opposition quoted him as saying.

Meanwhile,
...back at the dirigible, Cynthia backed into the galley, the barbecue fork held in front of her. Jack! she called. Where the hell are you?...
Lebanese security authorities told the daily that the security forces and army's deployment the southern Beiurt suburbs of Dahieh will not prevent boom-mobileings from targeting the area.

They said: "The deployment in over 16 Hizbullah security zones will not prevent such attacks because those seeking to harm the party are already in the area."

In July, al-Nusra Front leader Abu Mohammad al-Julani hit out at Hizbullah for its intervention in the Syrian conflict, warning "Shiites in Leb against allowing Hizbullah to drag them into a proxy war in Syria on behalf of its Iranian backers."

"I say that abandoning Hizbullah and disowning it will save you from woes and disasters that you would do without," he added.

In September, a joint force of 800 men composed of soldiers from the army and security searvices began their deployment in Dahieh, where they will take over security at checkpoints set up by Hizbullah in the wake of two bombings that hit its stronghold.

these are presumed to be al q or salafist or offshoots

so now al nusra will be able to claim credit for future attacks
