Report: Mob Stealing Pickup Trucks, Selling them to Syrian Opposition
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
A gang has been recently stealing pickup trucks and selling them to Syrian opposition members, media reports said on Wednesday.
A security source told Voice of Lebanon radio (93.3) that police stations in the neighborhoods of Ain el-Rummaneh and Shiyyah in Beirut's southern suburbs opened an investigation into the thefts.
According to the source, the gang steals the pick up trucks and sells them to Syrian opposition members, who in turn use them to install rocket launchers in the back of the vehicles.
The international community and analysts have continuously expressed fears that the conflict in Syria, which erupted 20 months ago, may spill over into Lebanon.

Maybe the Shia (people) of Lebanon want ASSad to fall so eventually the Hezz will off their necks too. This is a way to fight the Hezz. Many Shia hate them too.
It could just be small time war profiteering....but I prefer the former.

Hezbollah use to cheer for the bearded gentlemen in my pic, until they started to say (recently in the past year or two) that Shiites are apostates. Again, they use to play two sides and still will if it profits them. Remember Khamenei cheering for the Arab Spring, praising it's "Islamic" roots? Same as Qaddafi. Ha ha ha

they need the money--iran is out of money and supplying most of its free cash to what is left of the syrian army so not much left for Hizb to enjoy. Not only do they deal in weapons, but add drug trafficking, extortion, "protection", and assassins for hire (well technically they are mercenaries so this point is moot) among their 'professions. How else can they pay their minions?

That's why my cousin in Lebanon sold his Toyota FJ Cruiser, the Shia mobsters were already stealing them during the summer. How ironical, we know Hizballah were selling weapons to FSA, now Shias (protected by the party of god) are supplying them with 4x4 so they can be mounted with heavy machine guns... Money money money... At all costs.
