I imagine that the US and the saudis are funding such groups too, probably including FAI. Franklin Lamb writes a lot of good articles on the US involvement in funding the "welch club" militias. I don't think they are still funding fatah al-islam however as they were battling the main saudi/states ally in Lebanon, the Government. I also read that the reason for the conflict might be that FAI had their funding cut, so they decided to rob the bank etc. Although another narritive is that the US has plans for an airbase there and wanted the area cleansed of enemies. I also don't think this attack was fatah al islam, it was to sophisticated. Its more likely Hajj was killed because he was likely to become the new military commander and he is a supporter of Auon who is in turn allied with Hezbollah. I've heard arguments that it was the rival Christian groups allied to the March 14th movement. It was most likely the Government that did it. Who are openly funded by the States. I should probably say, I've been snowed under with work, so I've not done a great deal of reading on this latest event.
