Report: Hizbullah Preparing to Seize Power in Beirut
(Jerusalem Post) Hizbullah is preparing to seize power in Beirut should the UN Hariri tribunal implicate the group in the assassination of the former prime minister, Asharq Alawsat reported on Tuesday. The report said that Hizbullah, Amal and other pro-Syrian groups were working in coordination on a plan to take control of Beirut, the road to the south of the city, and neutralizing Christian and Sunni areas. Lebanese Brig.-Gen. Amin Hattit, who is close to Hizbullah, said, "Hizbullah would be able to seize power in three days, or a week at most."
