Nasrallah and Al-Akhbar

In his speech last weekend, Nasrallah was at pains to distance his party from Al-Akhbar.  And here, comrade Ibrahim Amin explains yet another time that Hizbullah had nothing to do with Al-Akhbar.  Nasrallah said that the rumors of links between his party and Al-Akhbar and put Hizbullah in embarrassing positions vis-a-vis allies (like Amal recently).  And he gave an example of things that Al-Akhbar published that bothered the party and attacked Shi`ite religious authorities.  (I think, as comrade Raed noticed, he was referring to my attacks on Grand (not at all) Ayatullah Sistani of Iraq, and the fact that I label him "the cleric of occupation").
