Share:

Relatives of the Lebanese hostages in Syria’s Aazaz prevented on Tuesday, for the third day in a row, Syrian workers from heading to their workplaces in the Beirut suburbs of of Bourj al-Barajneh, Tahwitat al-Ghadir and Hay al-Sollom, LBC reported .

The relatives said that they will expand their activities on Wednesday to the region of Choueifat, just east of the capital Beirut.

Eleven Lebanese Shiite pilgrims were kidnapped in Syria last May on their way back from Iran by insurgents hoping to use them for a prisoner swap on the 20th of May. Only two have so far been released.

Most of the construction work in Lebanon is done by the Syrian workers. It is estimated that as many as 600,000 Syrian workers are in Lebanon at any given time.

        Doesn’t take much to pull a trigger dateam … 🙂 … But one of the probable problems is the curious Lebanese insistence on stamping people and passports with things other than Nationality; like, your ‘religious sect’, for instance. A logo with the gun held high in the cold dead hand might not help either. (Hey, look at me, I’m an asshole … ;-))
        I had a friend who was a lawyer, and on his way to becoming a judge. (something about ‘family business’ there ..) His CAR Licence Plate had a logo on it which identified his profession. He was proud of it … and stated that when he became a judge, that would change to show everyone that he had risen in the Lebanese world. As long as he was in the car, he could drive around with some impunity too – although I do recall a moment when he had to have a couple of bullet holes in it fixed.
        So, I asked him if he had EVER considered that the licence plate was similar to putting a target on his back – especially in a country like Lebanon IS. He hadn’t, of course, and then we laughed heartily … but I’m sure he didn’t get rid of the plate.
        Also, unfortunately, I cannot tell you the circumstances of the car-accident that that killed him a few years later … it seems to be a mystery … I only know he was a good man.
