Crisis in Lebanon

Members of Hezbollah carry the coffin of their assassinated commander Imad Moughniyah during his funeral in Beirut's southern suburbs February 14, 2008. In a videotaped eulogy broadcast on a giant screen to thousands attending the south Beirut funeral, chief of Hezbollah Hassan Nasrallah said Israel had taken the fight outside the "natural battlefield" of Israel and Lebanon. The car bomb killed Mughniyeh Tuesday night in Damascus. The former Hezbollah security chief was one of world's most wanted fugitives, accused of masterminding attacks that killed hundreds of Americans in Lebanon in the 1980s.
