Syria Seizes 5 Lebanese Fishermen & their Boats
Syria has arrested five Lebanese fishermen and seized their two boats after they strayed into Syrian territorial waters from the northern port city of Tripoli.
The association of fishermen staged a sit-in around Tripoli's government house on Saturday, demanding that the detained fishermen since Friday be allowed to return with their two boats home.
Public Works Minister Adel Hamieh called his Syrian counterpart Makram Obeid by telephone Saturday and asked that the stray fishermen be released.
Hamieh also issued a warning to fishermen in north Lebanon to avoid Syrian territorial waters.

i have been feeling guilty lately towards upsetting syria and causing this humiliating closure to the syrian question in Lebanon. i suddenly am not guilty anymore~ i'm actually thanking god these misfits left us alone. turns out they didn't leave us alone. this is a time to have a more pro american stance especially when it comes to ousting the Syrian regime. Amen
Which mineral water company would that be? Any idea? I don't recall any such caps?
They'll go as low as the supine Lebanese will let them go. Heard any one officially complain? (other than some "imperialist" US official).
Oh, sorry, I forgot: saying something would play into the hands of the zionist enemy who wants to divide the Arab brothers to rule he planet. Shhhsh
