Lebanon doesn't love Hezbullah anymore
The discovery of a bomb happened on the first night of the Islamic holiday of Eid al-Adha and two months after a car bomb killed 20 people in the area, and looked like the latest sign of growing sectarian tensions in Lebanon exacerbated by the war in neighboring Syria.
The bomb was found in a Jeep Cherokee parked in the Mamora area, a Lebanese army statement said. Specialists were brought in to defuse the bomb and take the car away.
The Lebanese army announced on Tuesday that the car bomb was rigged with 50 kilogram of explosives.
The Lebanese Daily Star report stated that the army said the explosives contained three mines, six cluster bombs, TNT, and aluminum powder as well as a detonation cord.
The army said it is continuing to investigate the incident.Faster, faster....
And about that Muslim holiday...
Eid al-Adha commemorates when Allah appeared to Abraham in a dream and told him to sacrifice his son Ishmael and as he was about to kill his son Allah stopped him and gave him a lamb to sacrifice instead. The story resembles the story in the Jewish Bible in Genesis where Abraham was asked to sacrifice his son Isaac.
Muslims believe that Abraham was in fact a Muslim (named Ibrahim) and that the Jews falsified their text as it was Ishmael, the son of Hagar, who was to be sacrificed, not Isaac the son of Sarah.What a coincidence.....
