I wanna wish you all a Happy New Year 2007.

But on that occasion, i wanna wish our people to keep in mind that only one path will lead us to a free democratic sovereign Lebanon, one path will unite us, the path of our brave martyrs who died for us to live peacefully.

Rise above the rotten political class and prove that the Cedars Revolution was not a lie, that we are a people worthy of living freely.

Let us hope this year will put an end to the brutal assasinations and tensions and see our young Lebanese come back instead of leaving the country.

Here is the video leaked from Cellphone.

I wanna wish everyone a Merry Christmas.

May the Holidays be filled with warmth, special moments and a true appreciation of our families.

Instead of putting some random Christmas tree picture, i took a picture of the Swarovski Christmas tree i bought for my mum 3 years ago, hope you like it.

I was just informed our comrad Ibrahim Bitar has passed away, i dont know how .. he was a very good friend of mine, a true and commited LFer, his handicap never stopped him from working and helping other LF & Non-LF War Handicaps and his biggest achievement was the CHL organization that regrouped hundreds of war handicaps and helped them without anyone’s support. I dont know what to say … he was always worried about others, on how to help other handicaps, how to prevent divisions within the LF …

May You rest in peace ya Bob ..

After arresting 9 SSNP members and 2 trucks of explosives, Ali Kanssouh, the head of SSNP claimed the weapons dated back to the 80s.

However ISF specialists explained yesterday that the weapons could not date back to the 80s and were modern and included “explosives, fuses and detonators “ designed for “terrorist” attacks.

From Naharnet:
The confiscated explosives were displayed to the press at police headquarters in Beirut and an explosives expert told reporters such weapons were designed for “terrorist attacks and assassinations.”

The weapons included electronic detonators, pull-trigger fuses and rigged alarm clocks.
The Police sapper, who cannot be identified in line with standing rules, explained that the pull-trigger fuses can be “tied up to doors, car doors or any doors, and pulling the doors open would detonate bombs.”He said the weapons were locally made.

Large quantities of TNT paste also were displayed, and the sapper explained that they can be used in the making of “explosives with a variety of shapes.”That, according to security sources, indicated that the vehicle was to be used in a major terrorist attack, either in an assassination attempt by a squad of gunmen or by rigging it with explosives and detonating it against a chosen target

A rumor was spread that SSNP were preparing to assasinate Geagea in a major operation in Koura but nothing confirmed yet.
