“Hezbollah is mobilizing a large number of people to welcome the high-ranking Iranian guest who will visit the villages of Qana, Bint Jbeil, Maroun al-Ras, and Mlita.” […] The people of southern Lebanon, who are enthusiastic about Ahmadinejad’s forthcoming visit, have said that “what we did to welcome the Emir of Qatar, Sheikh Hamad Bin Khalifa al Thani was just the dress rehearsal for President Ahmadinejad’s visit.”
