Mash'al, Nasrallah Meet

A Hamas delegation headed by Hamas political bureau head Khaled Mash'al met with Hizbullah secretary-general Hassan Nasrallah to discuss political developments and to express condolences for the death last week of senior Lebanese Shi'ite Sheikh Fadhlallah.

Mash'al said that Fadhlallah was as Palestinian as he was Lebanese, and that his death was a great loss for Palestine and the Arab and Islamic nation. He added that the wind of jihad and the resistance that the sheikh led in Lebanon would continue to blow in Palestine until its aims were accomplished.
