نجل وزير عراقي يتخلف عن رحلته من بيروت وبغداد تمنع الطائرة من الهبوط

Classic example of what's wrong in the Middle East. Junior oversleeps after a night of partying, and daddy uses his influence and threats to force the plane to turn around.

It's all there.... nepotism, corruption, influence peddling, threats, laziness, sex, drugs, partying. They should make a movie out of this.

im speachless. only in lebanon!

names aren't mentioned in this article but it is Mahdi Al-Amiri the son of the Transport Minister Hadi Al-Amiri.

i just wish the Lebanese Government will ban him from ever travelling again to Lebanon

the article was edited anonyme, it didnt include the names before. so take a deep breath next time, and avoid insulting others.

I read the article before the-roar's comment, and it did include the name of the minister and his son.

let the Shia rule!

these people should be given a monopoly on shoe shining, street sweeping, garbage collection. like in the good old days.

The_bore..... you are delusional and very boring.

My initial comment was posted 10 minutes before your comment, and the minister was clearly named at that time.

I have only one name here. How is it that you imagine to somehow know that I ever used the name "ex-fpm"?? This information on posters screen names is not available, and you are clearly demonstrating psychotic and delusional behavior.

For you to randomly pick "ex-fpm" as one of my screen names, and then pretend to know it is a name used by me, only shows that you have deep-rooted mental illness. Visions of grandeur, narcissism, delusion, and psychosis come to mind. Please seek help.

This is truly hilarious!

The_bore is now claiming to have "inside information" regarding the identity of posters screen names! His special knowledge is a closely guarded secret, and he can't share how he received this information. This is to demonstrate to everyone how important he is, and how knowledgeable he is. Also to show he has important "connections" that provide this information.

Did you get this info from the Iranian Secret Service? Or is your daddy the Information Minister within the IRGC Quds Force?

Maybe you hacked into Naharnet's website to gain this info?

Hey bore, why don't you post my real name or email address? You must have this info too. Go ahead, I give you permission. Surely you would have nothing to lose in "outing" someone who is anti-Khameni.

We all know this is top secret stuff, and only REALLY important people are privy to this data!

You know bore, I feel so impressed by this display of counterintelligence and arrogance from you.

Guys come on this has nothing to do with Hezbollah, even if we disagree with them, they have nothing to do with this stupid son of an iraqi minister ^^ This story is just ridiculous !!

I don't support, agree or sympathize with any of the guilty parties you mentioned above. So I take it you are citing above to justify your support for HA's actions? Sir, I will ask you point blank, do you, or do you not, denounce terrorism? In any form, state sponsored or otherwise? Up to and including HA? Yes or No?

Idiot wolf.... sarcasm is lost on the ignorant and the unintelligent. The_bore was claiming to have knowledge that he can't possibly have, and I was ridiculing him.

Also, your recap of the situation is nothing but revisionism at best, trying to protect your fellow Khamenyists. MEA was not "ordered by another country to turn back". A "country" doesn't make these requests on a public airline. These "requests" were from corrupt officials giving instructions they were not authorized to give, to other corrupt officials. Standards of protocol were not followed.

Planes don't turn back to pick up spoiled kids that were late getting to the airport.

How on earth did you get Hizballah involved in this? Even Future TV couldn't do that.

Wolf

Do you sanction HA action.

@wolf: Have they increased the dosage or not yet? You need to insist they do.

for all those who are blaming MEA .. are you saying that they should have gone there and risked the lives of the passengers in case the iraquis didn let it land? they diid the right thing and should sue the iraki government for the loss

hope Lebanon retaliates against iraqi airline as this is just a scandal

Some articles in Naharnet tend to put me at a loss. The real article states clearly that the maintenance was an excuse and that a source in Baghdad airport requesting anonymity said that the airport was running normally and that on that day some 30 flights landed. No matter what we may want to say, truth be told, Beirut airport is run professionally under the highest security norms, therefore I trust BIA's statement in good faith, and doubt this Iraqi idiot's. What happened is purely a blatant disregard by some imbeciles only bent on greed for power.

I do not understand those sectarian and political comments over this article. Ridiculous and Pathetic!
