There has been no other confirmation to the report, although analyists believe the Nasrallah is in a well-protected location beneath an apartment complex in the southern part of Beirut, the epicenter of several hundred sorties by Israeli warplanes.

I wonder if this was the place:

CNN is going to discuss the gay games/parade in Chicago. I'm so glad they have their priorities straight. /sarcasm

The babble from these News Jackals is insufferable, isn't it?

About the only time I watch TV news anymore is when contemporary pictures of a breaking event may be important to witness.

They are good with pictures. And little else.

I guess all the news outlets are finding lame stories this morning, I wonder if its so there is no live reporting for spotters?
I suspect the hez are now going to start hitting more critical targets like the train station or go after areas of those where people are gathering to leave Israel like US citizens.
Those latest 240mm rockets were well targeted at those fuel tanks in Haifa.

Cable channels have no right to call themselves 24/7 news channels. They have pre-programmed filler on the weekends and after 11:00 at night.

Old Media at its worst.

Another barrage of rockets hit the Haifa area on Sunday afternoon. Air raid sirens sounded immediately before the Katyushas hit. Nobody was wounded in the latest attack.

Hizbollah chief hurt in Beirut raid

AFP

Sunday, July 16, 2006 14:50 IST

JERUSALEM: The head of Lebanon's Hizbollah Shiite Muslim movement, the target of Israel's massive onslaught against the country, has been injured in an air strike, Israeli television reported on Sunday.

"Hassan Nasrallah was wounded during an air raid by Israeli forces on Beirut," Israeli private television reported without giving details.

There was no immediate reaction from Hizbollah.

Israel has carried out relentless air strikes against Hizbollah targets in Lebanon over four days, including Nasrallah's headquarters in the Shiite-dominated southern suburbs of Beirut which was destroyed on Saturday.

There has so far been no word on whether the 45-year-old Nasrallah -- who defiantly declared "open war" on Israel on Friday -- was inside the nine-storey building at the time of the strikes.

Israeli government ministers have made no bones about their desire to see the Hezbollah leader eliminated.

"He can benefit from no immunity. We will wipe him out at the first opportunity. That's why he had better pray to Allah," Zeev Boim, minister for immigration and an ally of Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, said on Saturday.

I noticed Tobin from FNC was wearing a bomb vest earlier but a minute ago it was gone while he did a reort from the train station.

I just heard that. Ugliness to follow if Mossad can trace it.

If this is true... I can't imagine what was in that letter.

Abdullah Gets Message From Ahmadinejad
Arab News

JEDDAH, 16 July 2006 — Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Abdullah yesterday received a message from Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. The subject of the communiqué is unknown.

(IsraelNN.com) No injuries are being reported following the last wave of Katyusha rockets fired into Haifa and Nahariya.

IDF Spokesperson Brig.-Gen. Miri Regev reports the IDF is continuing to pound terror targets throughout Lebanon at this time.

Off topic a bit- this is the BEST F & F weekend I've ever seen. Kelly Wright brings substance, perspective and a breath of fresh air. Molly is always good- and they both have a calming effect on Karen...

On CNN's newsticker an hour or so ago: US state department says only 4000 Americans can be rescued and sent to Cyprus, not 25,000. (They'll have to think of somewhere else for the rest.)

They were together yesterday and did a great job as well. Kelly and Molly are hard news people and it shows.
