Syrian rebels threaten to attack Hezbollah targets in Lebanon

Wouldn't that be a fun thing to watch?
(The Independent) The Free Syrian Army today threatened to “teach a lesson” to Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah by hitting targets in the Lebanese capital as two suicide bombers in vehicles laden with explosives struck a regime intelligence building in Damascus.

In what would constitute a devastating setback to attempts to contain the Syrian civil war, Fahad al Masri, a spokesman for the FSA Joint Command, said rebels would strike Hezbollah in its stronghold in Beirut’s southern suburb of Dahiyeh if the group’s fighters backing President Bashar al-Assad’s forces are not withdrawn immediately.

“If Hezbollah do not stop helping the Assad regime, we will teach Hassan Nasrallah a big lesson inside his area in Beirut,” he told The Independent. “We know how to find him and all the other criminal Hezbollah leaders. I don’t advise Hassan Nasrallah to test our military experience or our knowledge.”
