| Lebanese based AQaida wannabees tried to assasinate Nasrallah |
| 2007-11-15 |
| An al-Qaida-affiliated terror group has admitted to trying to assassinate Hizbullah leader Sheikh Hassan Nasrallah (possibly Hizballah paid them to make this claim), the Lebanese newspaper A-Saphir reported on Thursday. The admission came following the arrest of three members of the terror cell last summer. |

| #3 I should have explained the AlQaida hostility to Nazrallah in more detail. Nazrallah has done a number of things that are heretical (or worse) in the view of Salafi sharia. He praises Iman Ali and Iman Hussain before (and with more enthusiasm) than he does when praising Mohammad. Similarly, he invokes the Shia Saints (I don't have a good handle on the priority order of these). Supposedly he has interfered with (or robbed) Sunnis who wanted to go on Haj. Also these are acts that justify a death sentence. |

| #2 Since the war last year Nasrallah hides under a thousand burquas and is buying more. /not to mention 100 meters of concrete. |

| #1 I find myself feeling slightly ill-at-ease to so suddenly be wishing for once that such a thing existed as Arab competence. (Another fine oxymoron!) |
