Seeing the Sites

An Egyptian-American tourist photographs Israeli weapons captured by Hezbollah and displayed at a 2005 exhibition during the annual Baalbeck International Festival in Lebanon.

Studded with ancient Roman ruins, the city of Baalbeck has been a Shiite Islamist stronghold since 1982. That year, Iranian Revolutionary Guards began training radical Islamic soldiers—many of whom brought their skills to Hezbollah a few years later.
