Hizbullah and Salah `Izz Ad-Din (II)
Al-Akhbar (unlike most Arab media) allow readers to write uncensored comments under the articles of the paper. Do not get me wrong: Ash-Sharq Al-Awsat and other Saudi propaganda outlets allow readers to post uncensored praise and wishes for the Saudi royal family. Oh, yeah. They do allow that. Anyway, Hasan Nasrallah yesterday responded to rumors and talk about Hizbullah and its links to Salah `Izz Ad-Din. He tried to explain the large amount of money that one "Hizbullah official" deposited with `Izz Ad-Din. A reader (who says he supports Nasrallah) expressed his polite skepticism.
