Bad Odor Engulfs Akkar, Source Might be Syria
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
An unusual bad smell that has engulfed the northern district of Akkar, causing some cases of breathing problems among the residents, originates from Syria, MP Moeen al-Merehbi said Tuesday.
“The source of the odor is Syria,” al-Merehbi told Voice of Lebanon radio station (100.5).
“It is either caused by an oil pipeline (leak) in (the central Syrian city of) Homs, or the Syrian regime could have detonated a chemicals factory that caused toxic fumes producing these odors,” he said.
VDL said there were some cases of dizziness, fatigue and breathing problems among the residents.
The National News Agency reported that Akkar’s residents mainly in the border areas of Wadi Khaled and al-Abdeh have been complaining about the horrible smell since early Tuesday.
Authorities in the area are investigating the source of the odor, it said.

I bet it's chemicals. Syria is trying to annihilate the Homsies....Lebanese citizens from Akkar just collaterals.

Speculation! That's what our media is good at...spreading roumors. Remember the incident of the balloons coming from Israel into the south and all the fuss the media made about it...after all it turned out to be just normal celebratory helium balloons that where cut loose but of course most of the media wasn't interested that much!

Flame Thrower - Look who is talking about speculation.
At least there is both, speculation from Journalist who have freedom of speech, and might entertain the public, and the STL who will ultimately give the decisive truth...
But if we leave it up to M8 or Syrian/Iranian stooges, Every murder or assasination committed in Lebanon would be automatically attributed to the Zionist enemy - without any investigation being conducted - And there is no need because Nasrahall has divine vision and doubting his vision would be doubting God.

If you or any of your M8 compadres saw the truth with your own eyes and it didn't fit your agenda of hate and destruction, you would all pretend you didn't see it. That said, I agree with you that nobody has the right to jump to conclusions and make accusations without uncovering the facts.

Flamethrower--perhaps you should learn to read.
"It is either caused by an oil pipeline (leak) in (the central Syrian city of) Homs, or the Syrian regime could have detonated a chemicals factory that caused toxic fumes producing these odors,” HE SAID."
Those two words are attributing the comment to Moeen al-Merehbi--and as we all know in this country, everyone in politics has an opinion no matter how stupid or ill conceived it may be. Politicians from all dates do this, and it is no different here. Naharnet is just reporting what he said--no more, no less.
