Lebanon detains 36 suspected of spying for Israel

By Reuters

Lebanese security forces have rounded up at least 36 people suspected of spying for Israeli intelligence amidst a two-week old conflict between Hezbollah and Israel, security sources said on Wednesday.

With the help of Hezbollah, security forces detained the informants, many of them former members of a now defunct pro-Israeli militia, in the eastern Bekaa Valley and the south, which have seen heavy Israeli bombardment, they said.

Some of the former members of Israel's South Lebanon Army proxy, which collapsed when Israel Defense Forces troops withdrew from southern Lebanon in 2000, had served jail sentences for working with an enemy state but had resumed their contacts with Israel after their release, the sources said.

I really hope this does not mean the civil war is starting again....

The world will end not with a Bang, but with a "do'oh"

I noted before that someone - Angry Arab perhaps? - had reported that an SLA radio station had started broadcasting again.

Doesn't look good.
