Re: Exploded Cayenne Turbo

Sadly that's just an everyday thing in Lebanon. I'm not even sure it made the headlines. Scary indeed - but more scary how much this kind of terror/attack is a part of everyday life in some places.

Peace - there is no substitute.

Re: Exploded Cayenne Turbo

Target was defense minister Elias Al-Murr, a remote controlled detonation device filled with aprox. 100 kg of explosive was used. Mr. Al-Murr escaped through a broken window, one person was killed, over 13 others wounded.
It happened in a christian suburb of Beirut.
Mr.Al-Murr is a former pro-syrian supporter but has changed his attitude. He also seems to be a very wealthy person.
BTW: he is 43 years old.

I love cars but I'm also very interested in politics, especially security related stuff and the middle east.
Had many friends from that region and I always try to understand what is happening there.
Beirut is even more interesting because of it's mixed population, muslims and christians, anti-syrians and pro-syrians, religious criminals and real criminals, etc. Highly interesting area, unfortunately dangerous and almost unpredictable too.
