Hezbollah Chief In Rare Public Address In Lebanon

Beirut, Dec 6: The leader of Lebanon's Hezbollah's group made a rare public appearance at a Beirut rally on Tuesday to mark the Shiite holy day of Ashoura, claiming his militant group is acquiring more weapons and getting stronger every day.

Sheik Hassan Nasrallah said Hezbollah was "here to stay" and would never compromise on its weapons.

Hezbollah's weapons are a contentious issue in Lebanon. The militant group insists it needs to maintain its powerful arsenal to ward off any threat from Israel but the weapons also make Hezbollah the most potent military force in Lebanon -- far stronger than even the national army.
