In an unparalleled rally in Lebanon, hundreds of thousands of people, covered in white shrouds, demonstrated in the predominantly Shiite southern suburbs of Beirut, "in defense of the religious holy Shiite sites in Karbala and Najaf against the US-led occupying forces in Iraq."
"The Iraqis can decide when, how and where to fight for the liberation of their country," [Hizbullah secretary-general Sayyed] Nasrallah told demonstrators, adding: "however, when it comes to Najaf and Karbala, the graveyard of Imam Ali bin Abi Taleb and his son Imam Hussein, we consider ourselves directly involved. In wearing our death shrouds, we show the enemies our readiness to fight and die in defense of the holy shrines and sites."
