NASRALLAH STILL ALIVE, VOWING "SURPRISES"

Nasrallah speaks, vows surprises (JPost)
Hizbullah leader, Sheikh Hassan Nasrallah, spoke for the first Thursday since the beginning of the week, saying Hizbullah's entire infrastructure and leadership hierarchy were still intact and functional. "I can confirm without exaggerating or using psychological warfare, that we have not been harmed," he said, referring to the strike.

Al-Jazeera, which aired only excerpts of the interview, said it was taped earlier Thursday. The interviewer said the interview took place amid tight security precautions but did not say where.
Nasrallah has been in hiding since Israel's onslaught began July 12, though he gave a speech on Hizbullah television on Sunday.

"Hizbullah has so far stood fast, absorbed the strike and has retaken the initiative and made the surprises that it had promised, and there are more surprises," he said, warning that a Hizbullah defeat would be "a defeat for the entire Islamic nation."

UNFORTUNATELY, ISRAEL'S BOMBS DIDN'T KILL HIM YESTERDAY. BUT WE CAN STILL HOPE FOR "A DEFEAT FOR THE ENTIRE ISLAMIC NATION."
