The Tribunal supposedly investigating the assassination of late P.M. Rafic Hariri is once again under the spotlight.
After Syria was set aside and the wrongfully accused suspects released, the masquerade this time is expected to finger-point towards Hezbollah members, in the hopes of igniting a confessional Sunni-Shiite conflict in the country (aka fitna).
Will the Lebanese be tolerant enough, lucid enough, smart enough to avoid this conspiracy, or will they once again be toyed with like mere puppets by foreign agendas, and cave in to their blind bestial instincts?
Lebanon is currently a buzzing hive for spies and foreign inteligencia. Not a week goes by without a new case is brought to the open. The telecommunication infrastructure is completely infested; secret agents Tarek al-Rabaa and Charbel Azzi, along with another collaborator, were recently arrested as part of an uncovered network of Israeli spies employed in the country’s telecom sector. Since April 2009, Lebanon has arrested more than 70 people on suspicion of spying for Israel, including security officials.
The expected dramatic scenario, if successful, will be synchronized with more assassinations, the rise or extremist groups, a heating of Palestinian issues, as well as an Israeli strike.
