The transmitters of the Christian Missionary Middle East Television station in south Lebanon were blown up by terrorists last Thursday night, the second time in several months. Reports said the damage was extensive. The TV station and its affiliated Voice of Hope Radio station are owned and operated by American Christian groups. They transmit from studios between Marjayoun and the Israel-Lebanon border. Orthodox religious groups in both Israel and Lebanon object to the heavily-weighted missionary aspects of the broadcasts.
