Sources close to Harakat Ash-Sha`b in Lebanon confirmed to me today that Hizbullah not only betrayed Ibrahim Al-Halabi in the by-election in Beirut, but they also lied to him, having promised to deliver thousands of votes. My sources suspect an under-the-table deal being prepared between Hizbullah and Hariri Inc (mirroring a deal between Iran and Saudi Arabia prior to the presidential election.)
