Syrian Opposition: Hizbullah, Iran Aiding Assad
(Ynet News) Roee Nahmias - The Syrian opposition on Tuesday accused Iran and Hizbullah of assisting President Bashar Assad in the brutal repressing of pro-democracy protesters, in a series of videos uploaded to YouTube. In one of the videos, a Hizbullah operative caught in Syria says that he was one of many "brought to Syria by Hizbullah in a 45-bus convoy....They pay, they pay $1,000, even $5,000." Other videos depict Iranian nationals who tell a similar story. Some also said that Iran's Basij paramilitary force now had a presence in Syria, for the purpose of quelling riots.
