Australian Sheikh Al-Hilali: The Money I Carried To Hizbullah Wouldn't Buy "A Quarter of a Missile"

In response to criticism about funds he contributed to Hizbullah, Sheikh Taj al-Hilali, the controversial mufti of Australia and New Zealand, said that the amount he had carried with him to Lebanon did not exceed $50,000. This sum, he said, would not buy "a quarter of a missile owned by Hizbullah."
