leader MP Suleiman Franjieh on Tuesday voiced concerns over a possible "dangerous thing being plotted against Leb under the slogans of humanitarian corridors and support for the (Syrian) opposition."
"Security-wise, some places in Leb are calm and other places are tense. The atmosphere is being prepared day after day and it is heading towards negativity, not positivity. Who sensed the presence of (the jihad boy group) Fatah al-Islam

before the eruption of its conflict with the army?" Franjieh said in an interview on OTV.
He warned that "a hundred" groups similar to Fatah al-Islam were being set up in northern Leb."
"Should the situation change in Syria and should it transit from a secular to a sectarian regime, Leb will be automatically affected, as well as the political map in Leb and the minorities in the region," Franjieh added.

, expressed his fears that "Leb is heading towards a crisis."
"I wish Leb will always be stable, but let's observe what's being plotted outside: there is a sectarian conflict in the Levant that is taking the form of a Sunni-Shiite conflict. The war on Syria is being fought under the slogan of democracy and freedom, but its real aim is weakening the Iranian regime," Franjieh said.
He warned that "the battle will move to Leb" should the regime in Damascus

manage to survive.
"They spoke of toppling the regime in Syria, then they spoke of civil war. Should they find that ousting the regime is impossible, which is clearly the case, the battle will move to Leb, and therefore supporting the Syrian opposition with money and arms by some malicious people in Leb will lead to creating an atmosphere that will have its repercussions on Leb, not on Syria," Franjieh cautioned.
