Hizbullah supports Lebanese army in stand-off

The Shiite Hizbullah has so far backed Lebanon's army in its confrontation with a Fatah Islam, a Sunni militant group inside a refugee camp - despite the fact that Hizbullah has been pushing to topple Lebanon's government.

 

"We feel that there is someone out there who wants to drag the army to this confrontation and bloody struggle ... To serve well-known projects and aims. We are hearing calls for more escalation and fighting, which will ultimately lead to more chaos and confrontation in Lebanon," the Hizbullah statement said. It called for a political solution to the crisis. (AP)
