Hassan Nasrallah

      Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah on Friday warned the Lebanese government against storming a Palestinian refugee camp where Islamic militants are holed up and criticized U.S. weapons aid to the military in the standoff. Nasrallah warned that Lebanon risked getting dragged into the United States' war against Al-Qaida, which he said would draw more Islamic militants into the country and potentially destabilize it. "The problem in the north can be solved politically and through the judiciary in a way that protects the Lebanese army, our Palestinian brothers, the state and peace and stability without transforming Lebanon into a battleground in which we fight Al-Qaida on behalf of the Americans," he said in a televised address.(10,44)
