Albanian opposition newspaper discovers Ukraine - Hezbullah arms deal
Lebanon's Naharnet is reporting that an Albanian opposition newspaper has disclosed that Albania has been facilitating the transfer of Ukrainian arms to Hezbullah in Lebanon. An Albanian opposition daily revealed in an article published Dec. 2 the involvement of the Albanian government in facilitating the passage of Ukrainian arms to Hizbullah. It said Albania bought the missiles -- type "C 18" and "C 16" – using money from Iran in favor of Hizbullah and the Islamic Jihad.Given Ukraine's past history of anti-Semitism and its joining the organ theft blood libel two weeks ago, should we really be surprised?
The shipment, according to the paper, was then transferred via Off Shore Company to Beirut.
Pan-Arab Asharq al-Awsat daily on Tuesday quoted Albanian and Balkan sources as denying knowledge of an arms shipment from Ukraine to Hizbullah via Albania.
Or maybe Hezbullah leader Hassan Nasrallah just has a crush on Ukrainian President Yulia Tymoshenko, and the Albanian opposition blew it out of proportion.
Heh.

If they haven't changed the order of the gallery, you'll see a gallery named "Berlin Wall" and the first picture the Israel-West Bank separation wall with the Palestinian flag being waved by some man. That's the only 'Palestinian' picture in the gallery, conveniently placed at the beginning.
I can't find it now, but I thought you had a post recently about the recent North Korean plane full of weapons...anyway, I have no idea what it means, but I saw an article saying:
"A cargo plane full of North Korean weapons, detained in Thailand after an emergency landing at Bangkok airport, was bound for Ukraine, the Thai news agency TNA reported on Sunday...According to TNA, the plane's crew commander, a Belarusian national, said during a six-hour interrogation that the plane had flown from Ukraine and loaded weapons in North Korea."
