Intelligence reports indicate the leader of Hezbollah is hiding in a foreign mission in Beirut, possibly the Iranian Embassy, according to U.S. and Israeli officials. Israeli military and intelligence forces are continuing to hunt for Sheik Hassan Nasrallah, Hezbollah's secretary-general, who fled his headquarters in Beirut shortly before Israeli jets bombed the building last week. "We think he is in an embassy," said one U.S. official with access to the intelligence reports.... http://peace-and-freedom.blogspot.com/

....so...we should not lower ourselves to their level just because they bomb an embassy....if he is there, we can wait him out..kidnap him.....whatever it takes.....

They ought to go in and kidnap the entire embassy...

Wouldn't that be a hoot...

How about if we just do the Panama-Noriega thing, playing loud rock music 24/7 until they give up? In Panama we gave up because it was the Vatican embassy that Noriega was holed up in, but if it's the Iranians I can't see that there would ever be a reason to stop (at least for 444 days).

I think the rag-wrapped old fool probably is in Syria. (I found it interesting that he's traveling incognito in Western dress. He must not feel to safe even in Syria!)

This seems to be typical behavior for these rats--when they are personally threatened they run, leaving their stupid minions to die.

Can anyone confirm that these are the coordinates of the Iranian embassy in Beirut?

33 51 22.61 north
35 29 17.82 East.

we can recall the overtaking of the American Embassy in Tehran and holding the American diplomats in captivity as hostages for 444 days

[gakrak]

Ask Iran. Amen.

[johnny7]

Syria makes more sense...

[Brilliant]

A stray bomb will fix this.

Bill Gertz is usually a good reporter. However, this report is missing some critical information: the coordinated of the embassy.

"Oh, by the way, about those 444 days during the Carter Administration, oh, and the Marine barracks bombing..." [falling whistle sound]

ROFL!

out embassy's have protected American's in the past....and I'm not sure we want to F**K around with that stuff....

Our embassy in Iran didn't protect our people; they would be attacking the embassy of a country that doesn't recognize embassies as sovereign territory. They have it coming.

[NorCalRepub]

...well Iran has it coming....I haven't heard of anyone else doing that...well except for Al Qaeda blowing them up....you mean if they do it....then we should???
