Yesterday, an explosion in Barr Ilyas in the Biqa` in Lebanon killed one Syrian worker, and injured three others. The Lebanese state and press are treating it as a mere accident--the same accidents that have resulted in the death and injury of an unknown number of Syrian workers since the Batata revolution started. Hariri rag always implies that Syrian victims are guilty of something when they get killed or injured.
