Hizballah trains Mahdi Army – two years old propaganda

I don’t under­stand this “media shock” about “Hizbal­lah trained Mahdi Army” story, if I am not mis­taken then this is [at least] the third time the Amer­i­cans bring the same story to light and out of the sud­den the story dis­ap­pears, comes again and disappears.

2006 — We can find the story here: “Some Madhi Army fight­ers trained with Hezbol­lah”.

2007 — The same story again: “Mehdi fight­ers ‘trained by Hizbol­lah in Lebanon’”.

So, why the NYT is search­ing its old archive?, and is it really about Mahdi Army?

If you read the Lebanese news­pa­pers today, all of them agreed that the sit­u­a­tion in Lebanon is about to explode or to put it more pre­cise, it is a mat­ter of how soon it will explode [read al-Akhbar report] that even Aoun used a lan­guage he never used before threaten with a coup as near as tomor­row [watch video or read al-Mustaqbal report].

The prob­lems of Hizballah’s tele­phone infra­struc­ture and air­port sur­veil­lance are esca­lat­ing, air­port secu­rity chief [Hizballah’s loy­al­ist] is removed, Hizbal­lah accuses Jun­blatt of imple­ment­ing Amer­i­can instruc­tions, all the eyes right now is on Has­san Nasrallah’s speech com­ing Thursday.

Noticed the sim­i­lar­ity between Maliki’s gov­ern­ment vs Mahdi Army and Hizbal­lah vs the Lebanese government?
