Progressive Socialist Party leader Walid Jumblat warned Thursday against a possible attack on Beirut airport's runway used by executive jets, saying it is subject to monitoring by a Hizbullah-operated camera. Jumblat said Hizbullah has placed a container on a side road in the Ouzai district overlooking Beirut airport's western runway and placed a camera in it to monitor aircraft traffic along the facility. The western runway number 17, that was subject to monitoring by Hizbullah, is used only by executive jets. Lebanese politicians who fly by executive jets are, in addition to Jumblat, Premier Fouad Saniora, Mustaqbal Movement leader Saad Hariri, Defense Minister Elias Murr, MP Michel Murr, cabinet minister Mohammed Safadi and ex-Premier Najib Miqati. Jumblat said three people in civilian outfits were observed near the container with one of them carrying a camera. The PSP leader attributed the information to a "secret document on a scheme by Hizbullah." "It seems certain sides are monitoring (Key) figures at present and the trend is to carry out a major security operation," Jumblat added. He noted that a shoulder-fired Strella-M heat-seeking missile "would be capable of hitting a jetliner on the runway, for example." "It seems a major security operation is being prepared," Jumblat said.
