Aljazeera in Lebanon

"In Lebanon, Sunni supporters of the ousted prime minister, Saad Hariri, set fire to an Al Jazeera van and menaced a crew in the northern city of Tripoli, accusing the channel of sympathizing with their Shiite opponents."  This is not true.  Hariri goons set the TV truck on fire thinking it belongs to New TV, and not Aljazeera.  In fact, the Hariri party even admitted that when it sent an official delegation to apologize to the Aljzeera bureau in Beirut, therefore acknowledging that they intended to attack New TV crews and trucks.
