Violence could spin out of control in Lebanon: Analysts |
2013-08-26 |
[Al Ahram] Analysts fear violence will spin out of control in Syria's neighbor Lebanon after deadly bombings struck Sunni and Shia areas of the country a week apart and killed dozens of people. The 29-month war in Syria, once the power broker in Lebanon, has already spilled across the border, pitting supporters of the Damascus regime against its opponents. "It is very likely that there will be more car bombs and other terrorist attacks all over Lebanon. There is nothing to prevent it," said Fadia Kiwan, head of the political sciences department at Beirut's Saint Joseph University. According to her "there is a fifth column operating in the country" whose protagonists are linked to the Syrian conflict. |
