The Emptying of Baalbek Is a Moment to Take Stock
“Large numbers of people continue to flee their homes every day, as Israel’s military operations in Lebanon have been going on unabated.” These disturbing words could be from almost any news report about Israel’s invasion of its northern neighbour over the past month. However, they can be found in a report by the Norwegian Refugee Council’s Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre issued on July 27, 2006.

A Future Without Hezbollah
At the end of September, when Israel’s campaign to destroy Hezbollah was reaching its height, I met one of the group’s supporters in a seaside café in western Beirut. He was a middle-aged man with a thin white beard and the spent look of someone who had not slept for days. He was an academic of sorts, not a fighter, but his ties to Hezbollah were deep and long-standing.

One Dead, Five Injured in Horrific Multi-Vehicle Accident in Dubai
One driver died and five others were injured in a multi-vehicle accident in Dubai early Thursday, Dubai Police said in a statement.
The accident, caused by tailgating, involved two trucks and four other vehicles on Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Road.
“The accident happened when the traffic was obstructed by a minor accident between a lorry and several light vehicles,” Major General Saif Muhair al-Mazrouei, Director of the General of Traffic Department, said.
The vehicles’ drivers reportedly failed to maintain a safe distance from the lorries which subsequently crashed.
“The drivers failed to maintain a safe distance from the truck coming from the back, it crashed into a bus upfront, kept driving and collided into another lorry loaded with cement and bricks, which caused congestion across roads,” al-Mazrouei added.
He noted that tailgating is one of the most common causes of accidents on the road.
Al-Mazrouei said that the department has recorded 538 accidents due to “tailgating violations” since the beginning of the year. These accidents have resulted in the deaths of ten people and left 367 others injured.
Tailgating can result in four black points on one’s license and a fine of around $109 (AED 400).
It reportedly happened due to tailgating as the vehicles’ drivers failed to maintain a safe distance from the lorries which subsequently crashed.
