Iran's President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is due to make a visit to southern Lebanon, close to the Israeli border.
He is on the second day of a state visit that has been called provocative by Israel, the US and some Lebanese.
On Wednesday, Mr Ahmadinejad was greeted by large crowds and attended a rally organised by Hezbollah.
He praised Lebanon for "resistance to the world's tyrants". But he also said Iran supported a strong, unified Lebanon.
Iran contributed heavily to the cost of rebuilding villages destroyed in the south during the 2006 war between Israel and Hezbollah.

Such a move presents a target.

If he were shot, it would be an international incident. Lets just hope he trips on a land mine, then there is no one to blame but himself, and no reprisals to be had. That is not to say they would not be taken, but it makes countering them easier in the International community.
