'Israel will be uprooted if it attacks Lebanon'

Iran's hard-line President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad on Thursday warned Israel it would be "uprooted" if the Jewish state made any move against and attacked Lebanon in the coming summer. "If you think that by bombing and assassinating Palestinian leaders you are preparing ground for new attacks on Lebanon in the summer, I am telling you that you are seriously wrong," Ahmadinejad told a rally in the city of Isfahan. "If this year you repeat the same mistake of the last year, the ocean of nations of the region will get angry and will uproot the Zionist regime."
