BEIRUT - “You are in heaven and those who killed you will go to hell,” reads a poster in a middle-class, predominantly Sunni neighborhood in north Beirut.
Those depicted in heaven include Saddam Hussein, Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat, former Lebanese prime minister Rafik al-Hariri (killed in a car bombing in 2005), and Sheik Ahmed Yassin (the Hamas leader assassinated by the Israelis in 2004). There’s FULL ARTICLE

I don’t mean to be all conspiratorial here, but only two things come to mind:

The article is pure yellow journalism. “Accused” and yet “Foiled”, etc., etc.
Anti-Arab, anti-Persian, anti-Islam (ET CETERA)… I can’t think of uglier things right now. Among myriad others.
Ugh… Just thought I’d bring it up.
