Army seizes truck carrying guns in Batroun after it catches fire
2024-05-22
[An Nahar] A truck carrying oils went up in flames Monday in the Batroun town of Basbina after which it turned out that it was also carrying 304 smuggled pistols, the army said on Tuesday.

The guns were hidden above the engine along with a quantity of magazines, the army said in a statement, adding that it has arrested a number of individuals suspected of being involved in the smuggling operation.

"The army searched the other trucks that had arrived along with this truck aboard a ship to the Port of Tripoli
...a confusing city, one end of which 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...
," the statement said, adding that no arms or contraband material were found in the other trucks.

A senior judicial source had told Agence La Belle France Presse on Monday that the truck belongs to a Paleostinian resident of the Mieh Mieh Paleostinian refugee camp in south Leb
...an Iranian satrapy currently ruled by Hassan Nasrallah situated on the eastern Mediterranean, conveniently adjacent to Israel. Formerly inhabited by hardy Phoenecian traders, its official language is now Arabic, with the usual unpleasant side effects. The Leb civil war, between 1975 and 1990, lasted a little over 145 years and produced 120,000 fatalities. The average length of a ceasefire was measured in seconds. The Lebs maintain a precarious sectarian balance among Shiites, Sunnis, and about a dozen flavors of Christians, plus Armenians, Georgians, and who knows what else? It is the home of the original Hezbollah, which periodically starts a war with the Zionist Entity, gets Beirut pounded to rubble, and then declares victory and has a parade. The Lebs have the curious habit of periodically murdering their heads of state or prime ministers...
The source added that the guns arrived aboard a ship that came from The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire...
