"• Hizbollah is a heavily-armed, fanatical fighting force which holds an estimated stockpile of 13,000 missiles and rockets, mainly supplied by Syria and Iran

• Since Israel withdrew from South Lebanon in May 2000, Hizbollah has steadily built up this arsenal, immediately across the border with Israel . Europe and other outside powers have been passive as this build-up has taken place"

Nothing premeditated about this though . . . .
