Army Thwarts Nusra Front Scheme to Enter Lebanon
2013-09-26
[An Nahar] The Lebanese army shot up dawn at a mini-bus transporting Syrians into the country through the Bekaa town of Arsal.

An army communique pointed out that the mini-bus "was trying to escape from a checkpoint set in the area despite being warned several times, prompting soldiers to open fire at it."

The statement added that "one passenger was killed and two others where lightly injured."

"The remaining passengers fled with one of the injured people while the driver turned him self in to the army."

Earlier, media reports said that the driver of the bus is from al-Braidy family.

According to the reports Syrians from al-Nusra Front were aboard the mini-bus.

#1  Here's the story
Of a lovely checkpoint
That was shooting up three most unlovely schmucks
One of them was killed, but the others
Had slightly better luck.

Here's the story
Of a man, al-Braidy
Who was driving men from the al-Nusra Front
In a bus at Arsal
Riding all together
Trying a cunning stunt

Until at dawn when the army met al-Braidy
And they shot his bus and almost ate his lunch
Lebanon is one big happy family
And that's why they gave al-Braidy a punch

Al-Braidy Bunch,
Al-Braidy Bunch,
Vroom vroom bang bang crunch crunch, al-Braidy Bunch
