Nassrallah calls for demonstration in Beirut tomorrow


The leader of the lebanese terrorist organization, Hezbollah, called today in a television interview for people to go out in a non-violent demonstration tomorrow in Beirut. Nasrallah calls for the replacement of the current government of Lebanon, headed by Fouad Siniora, by a national unity government. Nasrallah claims that the incumbent goverment has failed to protect the interests of Lebanon. This demonstartion comes in the wake of the resignations of 3 Hezbollah appointed ministers from the government of Siniora a few weeks ago after their demands for additonal offices were denied. The tension between Hezbollah and Siniora arose during the war with Israel last summer. The war which began as Hezbollah kidnapped two Israeli soldiers, brought great destruction to Lebanon. Ever since, the tensions have been high and there are fears of impending civil war.
Hezbollah is supported by Syria and Iran and it is feared that its goal is to topple Siniora's government and to form an Islamic republic on the northern border of Israel. Hezbollah is an active organization and is responsible for the killing of French, American and Israeli soldiers and for the bombing of jewish institutions in Argentina.
