Iranian Volunteers Set Off for Lebanon
[AP/Washington Post] Brian Murphy - Surrounded by yellow Hizballah flags, more than 60 Iranian volunteers set off Wednesday to join what they called a holy war against Israeli forces in Lebanon. The group plans to join about 200 other volunteers on the way to the Turkish border, and plans to reach Lebanon via Syria over the weekend. "We are just the first wave of Islamic warriors from Iran," said Amir Jalilinejad, chairman of the Student Justice Movement. "More will come from here and other Muslim nations around the world. Hizballah needs our help."
