Faisal Meqdad Stops at Beirut Airport before Heading to Syria

إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية W460

Syrian deputy Foreign Minister Faisal al-Meqdad on Tuesday stopped at Beirut's Rafik Hariri International Airport before heading to Syria by land, the state-run National News Agency reported.

“Al-Meqdad was coming from a three-days trip to Asia,” the NNA elaborated.

It added: "He then left to Syria by land."

On September 25, 2012, Syria's FM Walid al-Muallem and al-Moqdad landed at Beirut's international airport after their arrival on board a private jet.

The NNA remarked that they arrived at the airport amid strict security measures.

The two statesmen were heading to New York on board a regular flight through a layover in Germany.

Syria has been witnessing anti-regime protests since March 2011.

Some 30,000 people have been killed in the regime's violent crackdown against protesters and no Syrian official has visited Beirut since the eruption of the unrest.

Lebanese authorities have officially followed the policy to distance the country from the Syrian conflict. But they have also been reluctant to publicly blame either regime forces or rebel fighters for fire hitting villages and towns near the border with Syria.

On se raccroche à n'importe quelle petite victoire quand on a rien à se mettre sous la dent..attentats suicide, petit contre-temps aéroportuaire, obus lancés dans la précipitation sur des civils au Liban etc..(avec quelle précision !!!)...et de l'autre côté, reprise de toutes les poches de terrorisme dans la Région de Damas, nettoyage de Qoussair, dératisation de Homs, reprise de postes frontières et d'autoroutes...les rats agonisent...la fin est proche...

En effet, la fin est proche. Avec l'abondance des caisses de bois cadavéro-intégristes chiites qui pleuvent depuis la Syrie et portant l'estampille ASL-envoyeur; la déverminisation par l'ASL du grand Est syrien; l'arrosage (au mortier) du repaire du primate sanguinaire de Qardaha; le recours de ce primate sanguinaire aux Scuds pour compenser les pilotes et Migs russes cloués au sol du fait de la libération des aéroports; le recours du même primate sanguinaire aux mercenaires de l'Internationale terroriste intégriste chiite et autres supplétifs... Indeed! This is the end, primate

كيف يسمح اللبنانيون بمرور مجرم الحرب والمجرم ضد الإنسانية هذا المدعو المقداد فوق أراضيهم؟ إن كان سليمان وميقاتي وقهوجي وسائر خوادم عصابة الوحش الدموي القردحجي يؤدون مهامهم الخدماتية كما في دفتر شروط الوحش القردحجي الذي أقعدهم حيث هم، فمن واجب اللبنانيين الانتفاض لمنع هكذا فجور لا سيما في المطار!
