Hizbullah Claims to Have Israeli Bodies
[AP/Washington Post] Zeina Karam - Hizbullah leader Sheik Hassan Nasrallah claimed Saturday the militant group had the remains of Israeli soldiers killed in Lebanon during the 2006 war. Official Israeli figures say 119 Israeli soldiers died in the 2006 fighting. The Israeli military has a staunch tradition of not leaving the bodies of fallen fighters in enemy hands. Nasrallah also called on Arab governments to confront Bush's "satanic visions" for the Middle East, which he said serve only the interests of the U.S. and Israel.
