Rana Kolailat’s capture smells of backroom dealing

So Rana Kolailat, the heroin of the Al-madina Bank scandal was caught in Brazil. Hariri-owned Almustaqbal newspaper wants us to believe that the Lebanese Secret Services tipped off the Brazilian Secret Services about Rana’s whereabout in Sao Paolo.

That’s quite the feat by our spies don’t you think? They managed to track down one single citizen in a country that has twice as many Lebanese as in Lebanon. An average-looking woman with fake passports who was globetrotting the planet was caught by the same people who still cannot catch criminals who killed half our politicians in mid-day. I don’t know about you, but I don’t buy that.

A clearer picture was painted by Naharnet today:

An Nahar said that it received unconfirmed information that Rana’s arrest in Brazil was linked to developments in the U.N. probe into Hariri’s murder, which is widely blamed on Syria.

Now that’s more like it. Rana is being sacrificed.

On the eve of Brammertz’s first report on the killing of Ex-Prime Minister Rafic Hariri, we can all expect to hear more scapegoat stories. As for our Secret services suddenly turning into the CIA, well, I’m afraid we’ll have to wait a bit more for that to happen.
