| [An Nahar] Four people were maimed as at least eight rockets fired from the Syrian side of the border struck several areas in the Bekaa on Monday, in an attack that was claimed by the Qaeda-inspired group al-Nusra Front in Leb. "Two rockets fell between the towns of Talya and Brital near the public road and one of them hit near a residential area in Brital's al-Habib valley," NNA said. "Four people were lightly injured in the shelling, including Hasan Tleis who was hit by a piece of shrapnel in the head," the agency added. It earlier reported that six rockets landed in Brital and its surroundings. A security source told Agence La Belle France Presse that "five rockets launched from across the border with Syria hit the village of Brital and its surroundings." Two of the rockets landed near Brital's high school, and one near the municipality of nearby village al-Khudr. The two remaining rockets hit an area between the two villages, causing no injuries. Meanwhile, ...back at the game, the Babe headed for second base. He almost made it. Then Sheila slapped him.... Voice of Leb radio (100.5) said 12 rockets struck the outskirts of Hawrtaala and Brital. Later on Monday, al-Nusra Front in Leb claimed the attack in a statement published on its Twitter account. "With God's help, the heroes of al-Nusra Front in Leb fired several Grad rockets ...Soviet-developed 122-mm rockets, usually launched from trucks. Newer versions are reported to have a range of up to 30 km.... on the dens of the 'party of Satan' (Hizbullah ... Party of God, a Leb militia inspired, founded, funded and directed by Iran. Hizbullah refers to itself as The Resistanceand purports to defend Leb against Israel, with whom it has started and lost one disastrous war to date, though it did claim victory... ), in retaliation to the continued massacres of the party of Iran," the Front said, calling on what it called "our people in Leb" to be "patient." The group also slammed President Michel Suleiman ...before assuming office as President, he held the position of commander of the Leb Armed Forces. That was after the previous commander, the loathesome Emile Lahoud, took office as president in November of 1998. Likely the next president of Leb will be whoever's commander of the armed forces, too... as "a head of state who cannot defend himself," in an apparent reference to the latest war of words between the president and Hizbullah. |
