ezbollah leader Sheikh Hassan Nasrallah says his armed group has body parts of Israeli soldiers killed in Lebanon during the 2006 conflict.
He said they had the "heads, the hands, the feet and even a nearly intact cadaver" in a speech marking his first public appearance in more than a year.
He addressed Shia Muslim supporters at a rally in southern Beirut to celebrate the holy Shia commemoration of Ashura.
Israel launched a major campaign against Hezbollah in July 2006.
The 34-day war started with a border incursion by Lebanon-based Hezbollah, who killed eight Israeli soldiers and snatched two more.
About 1,200 people - including civilians and Hezbollah fighters - died in Lebanon during the conflict and about 160 Israelis - mainly soldiers - were killed during the conflict.
Body parts of Israeli soldiers have previously been used in prisoner exchanges between the two sides.
Stadium rally
Surrounded by bodyguards as he walked through a Shia neighbourhood in southern Beirut on Saturday, the Hezbollah leader was greeted by supporters chanting "God protect Nasrallah," and "Death to America, Death to Israel".
Hezbollah's al-Manar television station said one million people had turned out for the event.
Sheikh Nasrallah told the crowds: "Our fighters were fighting and confronting these Zionists. They were killing them and collecting the remains of their bodies.
"I am not talking about insignificant bodily remains. I tell the Israelis we have heads, hands, legs of your soldiers. We also have a nearly intact cadaver from the head down to the pelvis."
Sheikh Nasrallah's last public appearance was in September 2006, after the war which Hezbollah claimed as a "victory". He had gone into hiding during the war amid Israeli threats to kill him.
All these Sheikhs are chickenshits. Mookie is too. Mabye it's part of the job. Don't lead from the front but prod from the rear. Something they are good at.

Warning! This is a high-volume ping list.
Let them keep them! Who gives a crap? If my son had been killed by Hizbollah, you can be damn sure I would rather never get his remains back than see a single Hizbollah cochroach released from prison. My son would be with the Lord, I don't need his body if it means appeasing these animals. Israel is really over-obsessed with this stuff.

If you haven’t already read it, The Great Siege, by Ernle Bradford, is an amazing historical picture of Siege of Malta. There is also a first person account by a Spanish harquebusier named Francisco Balbi, who was part of the 2,000 man reinforcement sent by Philip II of Spain. Both are amazingly well written depictions that you would no doubt enjoy!
Thanks. I found a copy in Advanced Book Exchange.
Please tell me more -- it sounds interesting.
Cheers!

Advanced Book Exchange is a web site where used booksellers from around the world list books they want to sell. The service is free to the customer and the bookseller pays ABE a certain percentage of each sale.
Go to the Advanced Search page and type in the name of the author or title and whether you are looking for hardcover or paperbacks or first editions, with or without dust jackets, etc. Narrow your search to the USA or search around the world.
Click "Find" and the web site shows you which booksellers are selling that book. You can have them listed from lowest to highest price. If you want to buy the book, it is just like shopping at Amazon.com. Just put the book in your "Cart" and checkout using a secure credit card process. A week later the book is in your mailbox.
There was one out-of-print genealogical reference book published in Spain that I needed. Advanced Book Exchange found a copy being sold in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
Two weeks ago, my mother was telling me over the phone about some book she had been searching for for 25 years. Before she finished complaining to me about never finding a copy of it, I had already found a copy and paid for it on ABE. I put her address as the delivery address and she got it last week.
For bibliophiles, the site is the greatest thing since sliced bread.
My wife, however, may have a different opinion.
Cheers! Thank you very much!
Oh Great! You will have let me know how you like it -its one of my all time favorite books!
