Marwan al-Qassab was working on a DShK heavy machinegun to be smuggled into Syria to support the snuffies when a blast rocked his workshop, the official said on condition of anonymity.

"Marwan al-Qassab had a small, illicit weapons factory in the town of Minieh," 10 kilometers (six miles) north of the coastal city of Tripoli
...a confusing city, one end of thich is located in Lebanon and the other end of which is the capital of Libya. Its chief distinction is being mentioned in the Marine Hymn...
, he added.

"Members of the security forces rushed to the scene, and found his body shredded by the blast."

North Leb is home to many sympathizers -- most of them Sunni Moslem -- of the revolt against Syrian Hereditary President-for-Life Bashir Pencilneck al-Assad
Supressor of the Damascenes...
