Syria's Pullback; Lebanese Violence Looms
 
"Terrorist leader Hassan Nasrallah reacted to the reports of a Syrian withdrawal at a gathering of pro-Syrian factions in Lebanon. He promised that his organization, the Hizbullah, would continue the struggle against those countries pressuring Syria to withdraw from Lebanon. Nasrallah accused the opposition to Syria in his own country of "collaborating with Israel" to "interfere in the understandings" between Lebanon and Syria."

"The Hizbullah has thus decided to hold a pro-Syrian rally on Tuesday in Beirut. It is being billed as a "rally against foreign interference." The organization already sent its members into the streets of Beirut and in Nabatiyeh on Saturday. Fully armed and shooting in the air, the Hizbullah gunmen handed out pictures of Syrian dictator Bashar Al-Assad and Lebanon's pro-Syria President Emile Lahoud."
