A Western correspondent in Lebanon sent me this: "There was news on an explosion in Tareek Jdeedeh about a week ago, it was blamed on a gas bottle in the local media, an accident... but I've heard from my friend who lives there that apparently it wasn't an accident* the explosion happened in a sports shop that was owned by a Syrian* Apparently everyone knew he was Syrian and because it was a sports shop the likely hood of him having a gas bottle in there was low* so people say it was deliberately set up by the local mustaqbal youth* but the Lebanese media chose not to report that*"
