[snip] Word is coming out of south Lebanon that Saudi money under United States urging is being pumped into the Shi’ite community - in vain - to create a bloc among Lebanese Shi’ites against Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah. The Saudis are strongly opposed to Hezbollah, claiming that it is an extension of Iranian influence in the Arab world. More recently, the Saudis have began coordinating with former vice president Abdul-Halim Khaddam to break Hezbollah’s influence in Lebanon... they have shifted their attention recently to other districts with “Shi’ite pockets” where Hezbollah does not completely reign, like Nab’a, and certain villages in south Lebanon...

Israel Mossad may have tried to poison Hezbullah leader Nasrallah
