Press Reports Reveal Moroccan Hizbullah, Iraqi Hamas

The London daily Al-Sharq Al-Awsat reported today that an Algerian parliamentarian revealed the existence of a Moroccan "Hizbullah Party" headed by a Moroccan Shi'ite who resides in Berlin. Meanwhile, Al-Jazeera reported, also today, that one of the "resistance" groups in Iraq, the "Brigades of the Twenties Revolution," has changed its name to "Hamas al-Iraq" (Iraqi Hamas), and declared its intention to join forces against Al-Qaeda in Iraq, which it calls a foreign entity that harms the Iraqi people
