If there’s a bloodbath at Nahr el-Bared, this comment by a Fatah al-Islam leader will ring in the ears of media watchdogs:
The Lebanese government has demanded that Fatah Islam surrender, but the militant group’s deputy leader rejected the call in a telephone interview with The Associated Press.
“This is not only impossible, this is unthinkable. Our blood is cheaper than handing over our weapons and surrendering,” said Abu Hureira, a Lebanese whose real name is Shehab al-Qaddour, said Sunday.
Why are we not surprised?
