Walid Jumblatt
On May 1, Progressive Socialist Party leader Walid Jumblatt gave the following statement reported by the Lebanese News Agency:
Democratic Gathering Head Deputy Walid Jumblatt disclosed a secret document that talks about a scheme by Hezbollah. He also issued an official warning to the security forces. The document talks about "a large area on a side street that extends from the airport to the Ouzai district, which includes 100 containers, but an additional container was placed recently above a previous one."
Jumblatt added, "A security patrol noticed a small opening and a strange body that reflected light sometimes, as darkness prevailed in the container. This body was suspected to be a monitoring camera overlooking Beirut airport”s western runaway.” He noted that three people in civilian outfits were observed near the container with one of them carrying a camera.
Deputy Jumblatt did not mention anything about the letter or the document, but he affirmed that “it seems that some sides are monitoring some [key] figures under these current security situations."
Jumblatt added, "The aim is to carry out a major security operation. A shoulder-fired Strella-M heat-seeking missile would be capable of hitting a jetliner on the runway. It seems that a few weeks after a key witness was killed, we are ahead of a major security operation,” he said, calling for further caution.
