[An Nahar] A "suspicious" man placed in durance vileDrop the heater, Studs, or you're hist'try! by the Internal Security Forces on Wednesday in the Beirut southern suburb of Haret Hreik has turned out to be a renowned Lebanese rapper. "He raised suspicions due to his beard and was taken for interrogation while his car was inspected and it did not contain any explosives," al-Jadeed TV reported. It identified the man as Hussein Sharafeddine -- a graduate of the Lebanese American University, a rapper and a civil society activist. Sharafeddine goes by the rap nicknames of Double A and Abou Ali and is a member of a band called The Banana Cognacs.
