I will start talking about it first because it is much easy to talk about , it is not as deep as talking about the clashes in the north between the Lebanese army and the "Fatah El-Islam" militia as in less 48 hours I began to find more and more and more about the clashes and who could behind it
Anyhow about Al-Ashrafieh blast
Al-Ashrafieh neighborhood in Beirut is a Christian populated area for the high and middle high class , full of bars ,cinemas and malls , yesterday the 20th of May as you know was Sunday , the holiday for the Christians , and it doesn't need time to think to know that in these spring days people usually stay late at night in their holiday to enjoy some time in cinema or a bar or a cafe and so Al-Ashrafieh will be a perfect hot spot.
The bomb was placed in the southern entrance to a famous luxury mall "ABC" which is a couple of blocks away from the Church "Mar Matr"
Governmental sources told CNN that the kind of the explosives used in the blast is the same kind used in the previous blasts that killed several of the moderate Christian leaders from couple of years like Ghasan Twaini and Samir Kosair
This blast as I said before came after the threat of the Palestinian militia to turn Lebanon in to fire and volcanoes as a revenge
Today the 21 of May 2007 the first thing Samir Geagea said was a suggestion to attack all the Palestinian refugee camps
Some one wants to push the Christians again to fight with the Palestinian militias , to turn the Sunnis against the Shiites didn't work so the old enemies should wake up.
The clashes in the North wasn't enough after all it happened in a Sunni area
Of course I think it is not for only to make the Christians angry enough in Lebanon to engage in a fight but I think it is a start for a series of moves that can end with the a call of international help by the Saniora cabinet as some sort of war on terrorism
I think Lebanon will lose another summer tourist season if things continue like this
updates: this was written yesterday the 21th ,I apologize that I couldn't publish because I am sick
anyhow it turned out at the same time I went to sleep another blast had took place in Beirut last night in the "El-Fardan" neighborhood
"El-Fardan" bomb was just like its sister put in a car this time near the Russian culture center , it didn't kill anybody but it injured what between 10 and 7 ,its size was less than the "Al-Ashrafieh"
The interesting thing you must know that "El-Fardan" is a Sunni populated neighborhood
It just came after targeting the "Al-Ashrafieh" Christian neighborhood , the Christians then the Sunnis , the anti-Syrian the pro-American, of course some one wants the anger to exceed more and more some one wants to blame Syria and Hezbollah , but it doesn't make any sense at all because the one who really understand the ideologies of the "Fatah El-Islam" will know that it can't be working for Hezbollah
please stay tuned for more coverage
man seriously Lebanon will lose another tourist season
