Two Pepsi's and the Wrath of Allah, please.
Earlier this week Hassan Deeb Nesrallah, a Lebanese shop-keeper from the Bekaa valley, along with his sons and neibours, was released by the Israeli Military into the care of the International Committee of the Red Cross. He had been taken, with his two sons Mohammad and Bilal and neighbors Mohammad Shukr, Ahmad Awta and Hassan Borji, on august first. So far no reason is evident for the daring raid involving air dropping commandos deep into the heart of Hezbollah territory except that the balding man, with neither a beard nor a turban, had the misfortune of having a name very similar to the Leader of the militant group Hezbollah.
The men were cuffed, and lead on a several hour long night march through the mountains in their slippers after which his younger son Mohammad (13) was released
And the rest were airlifted to an Israeli prison where they were held for questioning. "In the following days, the questioning became more frequent and with higher-ranking officials," Nasrallah told the Lebanese paper The Daily Star. The Israeli Military has made no comment yet about its raid deep into Lebanese territory to capture the Mini Market owner, his family and neighbours. However the accounts given by the temporary captives,and statements by their Israeli Attorney, imply that they thought he was some how related to the more famous man of the same name. His son Bilal was even accused of being the son of Hezbollah's leader when they had is actual father, purveyor of household necessities, in another cell nearby.
This doesn't fit well with the reputation for effectiveness of Mossad (the Israeli Secret Service) who have penetrated the white-house, been responsible for the assassinations of both Palestinian and Lebanese leaders, but apparently not realised that Nesrallah is about as common a name amongst the Shia as O'Brien is amongst the Irish.
