A senior official of the Hezbollah militant group was killed on Monday evening when an explosion rocked a house apparently serving as a munitions bunker in south Lebanon.
At least five other people were killed in the blast, which took place in a three-story building in the southern Lebanese village of Tayr Filsi, on the southern bank of the Litani River.
The identity of the militant has not yet been confirmed, but security sources listed his son among the fatalities.
The area was cordoned off and Hezbollah could not be reached for comment.

Abdul, what happens if I push this button?
and we have a name
Saeed Nasser
top google result is a facebook profile,
not sure if thats the same guy... lets get some more info
Based on the location it would appear more likely an act of God.
And I’m good with that. :)
My first reaction was that this was another Mossad hit on Hezbollah, that may still be the case, but the fact that Israel is coming out and demanding UNIFIL to investigate this makes it look more like a Hezbollah blunder rather than anything covert.
Love seeing flatation where once stood terrorists.
Good job.
then that’s one monumental blunder - it’s one thing if a weapons depot goes KABOOM with a couple underlings in the building, it’s a whole other level of screw up if there is a head honcho present
Ive heard there were secondary explosions, which points to an ammo dump. I just dont think Israel would want to push UNIFIL to investigate something if its own fringerprints were there.
But then again....
AP: “The Lebanese army issued a statement saying an Israeli reconnaissance plane flew over south Lebanon earlier Monday...”
Who knows....
Well, it was a live demonstration right up to the point where it went 'kaboom'...
He’s now in a better place. Better placed for me, anyway.
Hizballah leader succumbs to effects of deadly H1N1 virus and explosives, but mostly explosives.
Guess they are going to have to update his facebook profile tonight from “looking for friendship” to “looking for 72 virgins”.
No car swarm? I wanna see a car swarm again. No car left to swarm I guess.
