Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is speaking in Southern town of Bint Jbeil before his tour of Lebanon’s border region with Israel.

On his second day in Lebanon Ahmadinejad visited the southern town of Bint Jbeil which was devastated by the violent attacks carried out by Israel in 2006.

A crowd of more than 15,000 men, women and children gathered in an outdoor stadium in the village for Ahmadinejad’s speech.

Ahmadinejad arrived in Beirut on Wednesday for a two-day visit to hold talks with senior Lebanese officials and discuss regional issues as well as bilateral relations.
