"Egypt & Jordan arming Lebanon's Salafis to counter Hezbollah ..."

AFP:
"...Senior Arab Democratic Party member Rifat Ali Eid said, "We are heading towards destruction as a result of outside intervention aimed at increasing communal tensions (between Shiites and Sunnis) that may ignite the entire Lebanese arena." 
Eid accused Egypt and Jordan of inciting against the Shiites and spurring anti-Hezbollah elements. He said more Salafi movement members reside in northern Lebanon than in any other region in the Middle East. 
"We have information indicating that some of the movement's members are training in north Lebanon before departing for Cyprus and Jordan to carry out terror attacks in Europe as well," Eid said. 
The Salafi movement is linked to al-Qaeda...."
