Raad, Fneish Sons Wounded in Syria Battles
[An Nahar] The sons of Hizbullah MP Mohammed Raad and caretaker Minister of State for Administrative Reform Mohammed Fneish were maimed during the battles in the Syrian town of al-Qusayer, Kuwaiti al-Seyassah newspaper reported on Thursday.
Good. Live by the sword...
According to the daily, Fneish's son sustained "serious injuries" in his face and is undergoing a surgery in one of Beirut's hospitals.

Syria's rebels conceded on Wednesday they had lost the battle for the strategic town of Qusayr but vowed to fight "thousands of Lebanese mercenaries" after the army seized total control of it and the surrounding region.

The main opposition National Coalition shrugged off the defeat, declaring the "revolution will continue".

Tuesday's development comes after the military support of Hizbullah has helped Syrian regime forces gain the upper hand in the battle for control of Qusayr, where an army assault began last month, amid a Lebanese, regional and international outcry.

Hizbullah chief Sayyed Hasan Nasrallah had previously justified the group's involveme
nt in Syria by saying they were defending Lebanese-inhabited border villages inside Syria and Shiite holy sites.
