Last update - 21:13 18/06/2008 Hezbollah supporters hurl stones at U.S. envoy's car in Lebanon By The Associated Press Tags: Hezbollah, Israel, U.S.  The party of the United States charge d'affaires was attacked with stones on Wednesday by Hezbollah supporters during a visit to southern Lebanon, a Lebanese security source said. "Some 200 people, including women and children, surrounded the house of Abdullah Bitar, who is opposed to Hezbollah, as he met in Nabatiyeh with charge d'affaires Michele Sison and they began throwing stones," a Lebanese security source said. "Death to America, death to Israel - we don't want you in southern Lebanon", the crowd chanted as the Lebanese police rushed to the area w Advertisement here Sison was having lunch. The source said Sison's car was hit by several stones as she was being evacuated from the area, but she emerged unharmed. A U.S. embassy statement made no mention of the incident. Bush earlier this month selected Sison as ambassador to Lebanon. The nomination still requires Senate approval. On a visit to Beirut on Monday, Rice said that Washington still considers Hezbollah a terrorist organization, despite the militant group taking part in Lebanon's new government of national unity.
