Lebanon officials have seized a cargo plane full of U.S. guns, ammunition and intel destined for Al-Qaeda operatives operating in Syria posing to be peaceful protestors.

A Cargo Plane Containing A U.S. Gun Shipment Destined For Al-Qaeda Terrorists In Syria Seized In Lebanon

The government of Lebanon has been working over time to keep their country out of NATO’s cross hairs in the escalating tensions unfolding in the Middle East.

Less than two months ago, Lebanon was busy defending itself after l-Qaeda terrorist launched two suicide bombs inside Syria’s capital that killed over 40 people and injured another 150. Lebanon PM says no evidence of al Qaeda on Syria border

Prime Minister Najib Mikati said there was no evidence that al Qaeda militants were operating in Lebanon, countering the defense minister’s statement that the global network had sent operatives into the Lebanon-Syria border area.

Grappling with a nine-month anti-government revolt, Syria has blamed al Qaeda for a double car bomb attack on its capital last Friday that killed 44 people and wounded more than 100.

Lebanon has tried to distance itself from the events in Syria where the uprising started off in March as a wave of peaceful protests against President Bashar al-Assad but is now overshadowed by an armed insurrection.

“There is no firm evidence of an al Qaeda presence in (border area) Ersal,” Mikati told journalists late on Wednesday, according to Lebanon’s state National News Agency.

Assad says he is combating Islamist terrorism steered from abroad – a sensitive issue for neighboring Lebanon.

Lebanese Defense Minister Fayez Ghosn said last week that al Qaeda insurgents were operating on the border disguised as Syrian opposition activists.

The interior minister later spoke out against the statement, denying there was an al Qaeda presence in Lebanon.

Following those attacks Lebanon has stepped up intel operation. By the end of December there was firm intelligence in place linking the arms being smuggled into Syria to al-Qaeda.

Germany & North Korea. I would go as far to say that Japan would end up opposite NATO due to the fact that China would obliterate them. Heartflowers
