More on the meeting, LINK HERE.  We have additional "intelligence" information in the new A-O Intelligence Digest issue on what is behind the meeting and an addiitional "War Council" meeting held in Tehran on Saturday with Palestinian terrorists.

Also in attendance was Hezbollah leader Sheik Hassan Nasrallah who made a stunning surprise appearance at the Summit meeting. Nasrallah has maintainted a more or less, self-imposed exile, hiding in a deep bunker somewhere in Lebanon to avoid an Israel assassination.
