The kidnapping is the latest of a string of incidents in which the Syrian conflict has spilled over into neighbouring Lebanon.

How so very true

Lebanon is and always has been one of the last countries I would ever want to visit.

I have a mate who's a Herc pilot, every time he stops off in Tenerife one of his crew get mugged/pickpocketed.

I think he'd rather go to Lebanon.

Been about six year since I've holidayed there but on your advice it's now below Lebanon on that most feared places list

I hear a familiar soul reporting! Three attempted robberies, one attack on me, one attempted murder (got injured and took him out) and one assassination threat, I count in my history files. All fails. Maybe it is stupid, I know they told me, but something in me just becomes extremely stubborn and uncooperative the moment somebody tries to blackmail or tries to use force against me. I never learned to cooperate under such circumstances. Maybe an inbred antipathy against street crime.

However, back then I were not age 46, and I still were healthy.

Today - well, next question...

It sucks to grow older.
