A news website reported that the suspect is a member of Hezbollah while state CyBC radio reported that documents and photographs were found in his possession detailing movements of Israelis on the island.
A police front man announced Saturday that Cypriot authorities cooled for a few years Please don't kill me! a man on suspicion he planned terrorist attacks. A local radio report said the suspect planned to hit Israeli targets.

When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in their national face...
The 24-year-old man, thought to be a Swedish passport holder of Lebanese extraction, was arrested on July 7 and was being detained following remand hearings held behind closed doors, Sigma TV reported. He has not been charged with any offense.
It was not the first time that a Lebanese-Swedish national has been accused of plotting attacks against Israeli targets. In January, Thai authorities arrested Hussein Idris, a Lebanese-Swedish national together with another Lebanese man on suspicion that they were plotting a series of bomb attacks against Israeli targets in Bangkok.
Sigma TV's web portal reported the man had been tracking the movement of Israeli tourists on the island, while Cypriot newspaper Phileleftheros said he was attempting to pinpoint areas frequented by Israeli tourists and the buses they used.
Cyprus lies just west of Syria and Lebanon but has been largely unscathed by the violence and upheaval rattling the Middle East. Its last major security incident was a botched car bomb attack on the Israeli embassy in the capital Nicosia in May 1988 which killed three people.

Cyprus has just requested 5 billion Euros from Russia. They will get it. Russia has deep pockets but not nearly enough to save Spain. The Spanish youth and those who can are going to Norway and Brazil to work. That would help Spain because money is sent back home in the hopes they can come back one day. Not all but many people will do that.
