Al-Nusra Calls on Shiites to Abandon Hizbullah

Al-Nusra Front leader Abu Mohammad al-Julani on Monday hit out at Hizbullah for its intervention in the Syrian conflict.

In an audio recording entitled: "The Coming Days are Better Than Those of the Past,” the Nusra leader warned “Shiites in Lebanon not to allow Hizbullah to drag them into a proxy war in Syria on behalf of its Iranian backers.”

"I warn those who claim Shiism in Lebanon about letting Iran drag you into a war that you can't bear," SITE Intelligence, which monitored the posting quoted him as saying.

"I say that abandoning Hizbullah and disowning it will save you from woes and disasters that you would do without."
