Targeting Education?

That they may have bombs and have it more abundantly

Almost a crime scene

It is hard to extract symbolism from today’s “warning” acts. In one day, two education institutions, a venerable American university, and a school in a Beirut suburb were shaken by security warnings.

The American University of Beirut (AUB) woke up to the news of a bomb that was found in their ’secure’ premises, while the students in the Gebran school in Bir Hassan came to school and found scores of soldiers and policemen searching their premises only to realize later that they were the subject of a phone hoax.

Every time Serges Brammertz, the head of commission investigating Hariri’s murder, presents a progress report to the UN security council (which yesterday stopped short of naming Syria), you can expect security “warnings” in Beirut. But the fact that this time the target was two education institutes is a bit puzzling.

What are the perpetrators trying to say? If you go through with the tribunal, we will kill your youth and destroy your future?

If you have other suggestions please enlighten us.
