Reuters: Islamic State seeking bases inside Lebanon: Lebanon security chief

WNU Editor: There has been continuous battles between Islamic State forces and Syrian/Hezbollah forces on the Lebanese-Syrian border for the past year.

As to the bigger picture .... these are just more signs that the wars in Syria and Iraq are spreading.
