Mohammed was taken with his father Hassan Diab, 60, his brother Bilal, 28, the fiance of his sister Hassan al-Borgi, as well as neighbors Ahmad al-Awta, 60, and Mohammed Shakar, 50.

"All along the road, they were asking questions. They spoke fluent Arabic, some with an accent. They asked us if we were Hizbullah members, and if we were related to Nasrallah," Mohammed said.
The family name Nasrallah is common in Lebanon, both in Muslim and Christian communities.

for all their military strength, this incident shows that they are desperate and stupid...
if they think they can continue bombing lebanon to stop the hezbollah attacks, they are so wrong.
The US tried and fail. Israel is trying but it doesn't look like they are succeeding. I think the world has to take a different approach in tackling terrorism. Rooting them out of their holes and caves is not the way.
spot on mr big!
the mid east will never have peace because it is full of extremists!
