Kuntar: We will free Shebaa, and beyond Shebaa
07.17.08
The five Lebanese prisoners freed by Israel in the framework of the exchange deal with Hizbullah, including Samir Kuntar, took part in a military ceremony held at the burial site of Imad Mugniyah, a top commander of the Shiite group who was assassinated in Damascus a few months ago.
The five wore Hizbullah military uniforms and kissed Mugniyah’s family members. The father of the slain commander congratulated Kuntar on his release. The terrorist, who was imprisoned in Israel for nearly 30 years after being convicted of killing four Israelis during a cross-border raid on Nahariya, said in response “we owe this victory to you and Imad.
“This morning I heard that the enemy has decided to assassinate me,” Kuntar told the assembled crowd. “This enemy knows me well and I want to answer it with two sentences, like the Imam Hussein, may he rest in peace, said at the time: ‘You threaten me with murder, when death is customary for us and a martyr’s death is an honor from Allah?’
“We swear in the name of the almighty Allah and in the name of your pure blood that we will continue in this path and never give up until we reach the place that was given to you by God,” Kuntar said, referring to what is dubbed by Islamic militants as a “martyr’s death”.

BEIJING - Three separate bus explosions killed at least three people and injured 14 in the southwestern Chinese city of Kunming on Monday, media said, amid a security clampdown ahead of next month’s Beijing Olympics.
The causes were not immediately clear, but the blasts came within a matter of hours of each other in the capital of Yunnan province and less than three weeks before the Beijing Games, which China has warned could be a target of terrorist attacks.
An explosion on one bus happened at the Panjiawan stop at 7.10 a.m. and the second blast was nearby, the official Xinhua news agency said. Pictures showed a gaping hold in the side of one of the buses and glass scattered in the street.
Another explosion occurred near Minshan, also nearby, the semi-official China News Service said in a report on its Web site (www.chinanews.com.cn).
