More Details On Hezbollah’s Planned Putsch

Amine Hoteit: (My translation, hover for Arabic original)

If strife takes hold, Hezbollah will control the ground in three days to one week tops. But things don’t end here, because what happens on the field will translate into politics. Then the equation becomes: The indictment in the Rafik Hariri assassination will end the Hariri regime in Lebanon once and for all

All this of course because a bunch of Hezbollah elements could be indicted in a world court. These are silly scare tactics and threats and someone needs to call Hezbollah’s bluff.
