Yep as Angry Arab wrote today Nicholas Blanford, the TIME journalist, has made a nice career writing fantasty articles about Hezbollah and citing his "sources high-up within Hezbollah".
So the other day he claimed to have interviewed one of the Hezbollah fighters blamed for assassinating Hairri. Now Hezbollah has come out and said none of its fighters were interviewed and the interview "Never Happened".
Previously Blanford claimed that his "Hezbollah sources" told him Hezbollah had SCUD missiles leading to several military analysts saying SCUD's would be to big and slow for a mobile army like Hezbollah to ever want and that if Hezbollah ever tried to aim and launch a SCUD it would take so long to prepare and fire that Israeli jets would easily be able to target them.

Hizbullah is saying the entire interview was fabricated, most probably by the STL.
