Al Qaida n'existe pas au Liban, ce n'est qu'un mythe ... prétendent certains, c'est pour cela qu'on les importe de l'étranger comme des camps palestiniens (sont-ils encore territoire libanais?) d'égypte, de somalie, d'arabie saoudite comme on l'a vu à nahr bared etc... etc.. et maintenant du Pakistan ?

ESTIMATION: Security warnings of such nature do always have to be taken seriously.

Amid tension in the country and numerous attempts of neighbouring Syria and others to meddle in Lebanese affairs, this could also be a well timed and planted hoax to annihilate the summer season in Lebanon, frightening tourists to stay away.

Citizens of major Gulf countries, who enjoy summer in Lebanon and throw their money around, have already been cancelling hotel bookings on a remarkable scale over the weekend.

The alleged plot at Rafik Hariri International Airport thus could serve as a fire accelerant to kill the season, damage the economy and fertilize the discord among Lebanese amid an already heated atmosphere. (Beirut-Reporter)

He can place these chemicals anywhere, at any mall in Leb etc, and it will be a tragedy...the questions are: where is he? how did he smuggle those chemicals? are there more people like him? I mean this western inteligence agency is either incompetent or wants to hit the leb tourism sector...

It was probably the Saudis or one of those Gulf countries. You know Dubai is mostly Pakistani now, right? I don't doubt that they found some poor Paki labourer and made him do this, to ruin our tourism economy so their own would be boosted. You know how two-faced those backstabbers are, I wouldn't put it past them.

how about you stop blaming every single country in the world for wanting to meddle in your affairs, and start by all the politicians that enslave you to their needs. how about you don't elect any of them and every time someone goes on the podium and bashes his opponent, you walk away.
where is the platform for the election ?
where is the economic development plan ?
where is your stimulus package ?
Where is the budget ?????
how can you run a country without a budget ? most people have to budget for everyday spending!
