Hizb'allah ups gears to topple Siniora governnment

December 10, 2006

The Iranian and Syrian-backed Lebanese Hizb'allah terrorist organization was set Sunday morning to up its effort to depose the government of Prime Mininster Fouad Siniora.

Hundreds of thousands of demonstrators were anticipated in Beirut, to swell the ranks of the protestors who appear determined to force new elections.

Toppling Siniora is the goal of Tehran and Damascus, who want to see Lebanon led by the Shi'ite Hizb'allah and turned into a mini-Islamic Republic.

With Hizb'allah in power, Israel will face an unbroken alliance of mortal foes stretching from the Mediterranean and wrapped around the north and east of the Jewish state.

Lebanon is deeply divided along sectarian lines, however, and analysts fear the demonstrations - which have been underway since December 1 - could explode into another civil war.
