Lebanese security find bicycle with camera near Jumblatt's house

Beirut - Lebanese Security forces Saturday discovered a bicycle equipped with a camera and a recorder parked beside the Beirut residence of anti-Syrian Druze MP and Progressive Socialist Party leader Walid Jumblatt. Forensic specialists were called to the scene and took fingerprints from the bicycle before removing it. Jumblatt, a staunch critic of Syria, said recently the Syrian regime posed a danger to Lebanon's 'independence movement' - a reference to his anti-Damascus March 14 Forces. 'The Syrian regime is the first and last danger that the independence movement is facing,' he told his party's general assembly in Baakline in the Chouf Mountains, southeast of Beirut. A series of assassinations in the past three years has targeted members of the March 14 Forces, prompting the officials to take extreme security measures around their homes. The assassinations included that of former premier Rafik Hariri in 2005, for which Syria was widely blamed - a charge Damascus continues to deny.
