New York Time recycles Hezbollah/Israel story from 2002

Elayne Riggs noticed this article from the New York Time which begins: Hezbollah militants in southern Lebanon have amassed thousands of surface-to-surface rockets, including missiles with the range to strike cities in northern Israel, according to senior Israeli and Western officials.However, the very next sentence reads: “As the Bush administration moves to confront Iraq, some officials are concerned that Hezbollah could step up its attacks on Israel.” Something amiss here.Still, officials worry that the buildup of so many rockets could tempt Hezbollah to expand its operations. Adding to this worry is the fear that Iran or Syria might encourage Hezbollah to stir up tensions along Israel’s northern frontier to divert attention from Iraq and complicate the Bush administration’s plans to topple Saddam Hussein.
