BECAUSE OF ARSON, WHICH MIGHT BE POLITICAL: SOME BELIEVE THEY'VE BEEN SET BY HIZBALLAH AND SYRIA AND THAT A COUP IS COMING:

Just got off the phone with Camille Chamoun, the grandson of the late Lebanese president of the same name. He tells me:

This is not a coincidence. This is the work of our neighbors. The Syrians have a lot of operators here, and this puts extreme pressure on our government.

He adds:

This could be a possible diversion [of the police and military forces] to launch a coup d'etat.

ASSAD AND NASRALLAH SHOULD BE ARRESTED BY THE LEBANESE - WITH OUR HELP - FOR THE MURDER OF HARIRI, AND THEN THEY SHOULD BE HUNG LIKE SADDAM.

• THESE TWO THUGS ARE WORSE THAN NORIEGA.
