Nasrallah's son survives assassination attempt - report
[Jpost] A source within Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Quds Force revealed in a conversation with the Kuwaiti newspaper, al-Jarida, that Juad His Eminence Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah
...The satrap of the Medes and the Persians in Leb...
, son of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah, managed to escape an liquidation attempt after "he arrived to deliver a message from his father to leaders of the Hashed a-Shaabi in Iraq."

According to the report before, the liquidation attempt, Nasrallah's son conveyed a secret message from his father to the commander of the Quds Force in Tehran and then arrived at Baghdad.
An Nahar adds:
Jawad Nasrallah, son of Hizbullah
...Party of God, a Leb militia inspired, founded, funded and directed by Iran. Hizbullah refers to itself as The Resistance and purports to defend Leb against Israel, with whom it has started and lost one disastrous war to date, though it did claim victory...
leader Sayyed His Eminence Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, has reportedly survived an liquidation attempt weeks ago in the Iraqi capital Baghdad, Kuwaiti al-Jarida newspaper said on Thursday.

Quoting a source in Iran's Quds Force, the daily said Jawad’s convoy came under fire from a car that was chasing him in the Jadiriya area in Baghdad.

The source stated that Jawad Nasrallah had traveled 3 weeks ago to Tehran with a special message from his father to Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei
...the very aged actual dictator of Iran, successor to Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini...
He said due to major breaches of the American and Israeli intelligence services, commander of the Quds Force, Brigadier General Ismail Qanni asked Hassan Nasrallah not to transmit any sensitive messages to the Iranian leadership except through people he trusted.

The content of the message was not disclosed, but the source said that Nasrallah the son, met a number of Iranian officials before traveling to Iraq to convey a message from his father to leaders of Iraqi factions loyal to Iran, as well as to visit Karbala and Najaf and to meet the Supreme Shiite authority in Iraq, Ali Sistani.

Before he was able to make the necessary contacts to meet Sistani, a vehicle chased him and opened fire before fleeing away, which necessitated his transfer to Basra to return to Tehran and from there by plane to Syria, then by land to Beirut, which he reached two days ago, according to al-Jarida.
