Hizbullah Actively Undermining Lebanon's Government

Once again, Hizbullah shows that it could care less about democracy or the legitimate government of Lebanon and is instead making its own law of the land. They've attacked and kidnapped Lebanese police for the second day in a row. This time, the incident occurred in South Beirut, which is a Hizbullah stronghold.
Members of Hezbollah attacked and kidnapped a police officer in south Beirut on Thursday, marking the second attack on Lebanese police by Hezbollah in as many days, security sources reported.

On Wednesday Hezbollah forcefully freed two suspicious detainees, by surrounding the police with a mob of 100 angry Hezbollah forces, threatening to attack the policemen unless the two bearded men were immediately released.

The sources said the police officer was investigating an illegal construction site in the suburb of Ghadir when he was beaten up by two local residents.

Hizbullah members drove in, kidnapped the officer and whisked him to a Hizbullah office where he was illegally interrogated by Party officials on activities of the police force.
Hizbullah could care less about the laws, UN Security Council resolutions, or much else. They're out to create their own little Islamic regime from which they can launch attacks against Israel as Iran's proxy army. (HT: Rantburg)
