Some terrorists entered Lebanon disguised as tourists
MP Walid Jumblatt's Progressive Socialist Party has informed Interior Minister Ziad Baroud that terrorists disguised as tourists have entered Lebanon to carry out apparent suicide attacks. The PSP's media official Rami al-Rayyes told Naharnet "we have received information about suicide attackers entering Lebanon disguised as terrorists.""We've relayed the information to interior minister Baroud. This is a major threat that could destabilize the whole situation," Rayyes explained. He said the PSP relayed the information to Baroud to help "counter-terrorism officials follow up the issue and control the situation." "Lebanon is surrounded by threats at various levels," Rayyes said, predicting renewed attempts to assassinate political figures in Lebanon. The previous round of political assassinations, which started on Oct. 1, 2004, had targeted politicians opposed to Syria's role in Lebanon. Rayyes did not disclose the PSP intelligence sources for the information on the terrorists Posted by: Fred 2008-08-21 |
