<font color=blue>Iranian guards move heavy weapons out of southern Lebanon<font color=black> Looks like America's liberation of the Iraqi people is already paying peace dividends. The terrorists and thugs of the world only understand one language and that is the language of strength and resolve. President Bush is the first American President in decades to show courage and resolve. jpost.com The Asharq Al-Awsat newspaper reports Thursday that the Iranian Revolutionary Guards have moved artillery out of southern Lebanon and have stopped training Hizbullah pilots to carry out suicide attacks, <font color=red> apparently in response to pressure from Washington.<font color=black> The Arabic-language newspaper published in London attributed its report to a source in the Iranian Air Force Guards. The source said that recently a group of some 30 Hizbullah and Islamic Jihad pilot trainees were returned to Lebanon without completing their training. However the source was also quoted as saying that the guards had already trained more than 100 Hizbullah members, and some 20 of Jihad in the use of gliders to carry out suicide attacks against Israel. In addition, an unspecified number of parts have been shipped to Lebanon where they could be assembled into planes, if necessary, the source said. Meawhile, the Revolutionary Guards have withdrawn from southern Lebanon, an array of heavy weapons, and specifically Ra'ad and Shahin artillery and mid-range cannons, that were previously put at Hizbullah's disposal. The artillery is now hidden underground in east Lebanon's Beka'a region. The source also informed Asharq Al-Awsat that a truck stopped by Lebanese and Syrian authorities two days ago in the Beka'a was transporting some of these weapons withdrawn from the Marj'aoun district, which is close to Israel's border.
