Was There An Assassination Attempt On Hezbollah's Leader?

Hezbollah Chief Hassan Nasrallah

Report: Hezbollah Chief Poisoned; Iranian Doctors
Saved His Life -- Haaretz

The Iraqi Web site Almalaf on Wednesday quoted diplomatic sources in Beirut as saying Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah was poisoned last week and that his life was saved by Iranian doctors who were rushed to Lebanon to treat him.

The sources reportedly told the paper that a particularly poisonous chemical substance was used against the Shi'ite militia's leader. His medical condition was apparently critical for a number of days, until the Iranian doctors arrived and managed to save his life.

The site claimed that the sources believed it was highly likely that the poisoning was an Israeli assassination attempt.

Hezbollah has denied the report. Lebanese parliament member Al-Hajj Hassan, a member of the group, said: "This is a lie and a fabrication. It' true that I haven't seen [Nasrallah] this past week, but he's okay."

The Iranian medical team arrived on Sunday at 11:00 P.M., apparently on a special military flight. Officials considered flying Nasrallah to Iran for further treatment, according to Almalaf.

My Comment: He has always been on an Israeli hit list .... he also has many enemies in Lebanon itself. If this report is true, Hezbollah will be in disarray until he recovers, or a replacement is found.
