Hezbullah invades Beirut Airport to 'protect' alleged Hariri assasin
Hezbullah invaded Beirut's international airport on Saturday in order to protect Jamil Sayyed, who is apparently going to be named in the report of the commission investigating the assassination of Rafik al-Hariri. Vehicles with Hizbullah gunmen inside have reportedly welcomed former General Security Department chief Maj. Gen. Jamil Sayyed at a tarmac at Beirut airport and took him to the VIP lounge that he used without a previous permit from the foreign ministry, in what was described as "an invasion of the airport."I think a little civil war might put a little crimp in Hezbullah's plans to attack Israel.
An Nahar newspaper said Sunday that following a press conference at the lounge during which he unleashed his rage on several officials, Hizbullah took private security measures to escort Sayyed to his home in Beirut's Jnah neighborhood.
According to the daily, no one asked the foreign ministry to open the lounge which is usually earmarked for cabinet ministers, MPs and high-level state employees if they were tasked with carrying out missions abroad.
Heh.
