Al-Qaeda declares war on Lebanon: Army, Hezbollah targets


Three al-Qaeda-affiliated militant groups have declared war on Lebanon. In a single day, the trio delivered the opening salvo of their Lebanese campaign, issuing threats in what appeared to be coordinated statements.
Three prominent terrorist groups, the Abdullah Azzam Brigades, al-Nusra Front in Lebanon, and the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) have now declared war on Lebanon. The three groups timed their announcements to take place on the same day.
