Saudi media (and Western media derivatively) and Hizbullah stories

This Saudi newspaper talks about losses for Syrian Social National Party in the Qalamun battle and cites the death of SSNP leader, Subhi Yaghi, who died two days ago. Yaghi never carried a gun and I had common frineds with him and he died from a massive heart attack in a Beirut hospital.  The Saudi newspaper says that he died in Qalamun--kid you not. Don't laugh: this story will soon makes its way--as it often does--in the dispatches of Western correspondents in Beirut.
