"And I have found both freedom and safety in my madness, the freedom of loneliness and the safety from being understood, for those who understand us enslave something in us. But let me not be too proud of my safety. Even a Thief in a jail is safe from another thief. "

HERMEL, Lebanon: Security forces defused overnight Friday a car rigged with a large quantity of explosives in east Lebanon, security sources said.

The car – a Buick - was located between the Baalbek towns of Younin and Maqneh around midnight, the sources said, adding that explosives weighing 350 kilograms and two mortar bombs weighing 20 kilograms each were found inside.

In a statement issued later in the day, the military said that Army Intelligence seized a black Buick in the Bekaa rigged with 350 kilograms of explosives.

Photographs of the vehicle showed a dusty old model Buick with shattered pieces of glass on the road and a trunk full of explosives.

It was not clear whether the car was primed to explode in the area or planned to be moved to another location for detonation.
