warned on Saturday against the danger on Leb that could result from Syria's conflict, explaining that al-Qaeda's presence would soon be felt in the country.
"Al-Qaeda is one step away from being present in Leb, and once here, it will announce an (Islamic) Emirate in the north," Aoun said in front of a delegation of students who won the Antonine University elections.
The FPM leader added: "What is happening in Syria now is very dangerous and threatens our existence, especially since the revolutionaries are radicals".
Aoun called on the students to be aware of the regional changes and conflicts that could threaten Leb's stability.
"They want to make us focus our attention on the electoral law but we should not forget where the real danger is," Aoun explained.
"The number of Paleostinians in Leb is nearing 1 million," Aoun said commenting on the arrival of refugees from Syria through the border, expressing that this is a "real danger from which our attention should not be deviated".
"Nations supporting the revolutionaries in Syria with money and arms are obliging Paleostinians to flee the war-torn country," the FPM leader said, questioning why these regimes do not "take responsibility of the refugees instead of blaming us and putting the entire burden on Leb".
