Three Lebanese citizens affiliated with PFLP-GC were arrested Thursday while trying to smuggle anti- aircraft missiles to south Lebanon, police said.

Two of the three, a father and his son, fell into a police ambush at the main highway leading to the southern town of Nabatiyeh.

The father told interrogators that he was a member of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine-General Command (PFLP-GC), and he obtained shoulder-propelled missiles from its base in Naameh, south of Beirut.

Police also arrested a third suspect for playing a role in the transport of the missiles.

1. Interesting.

But quite irrelevant.

The Russian saying seems to sum this up:
Protiv ovets, boyets; protiv boytsa, sam ovtsa.
"Against a sheep, he's a warrior; against a warrior, he's a sheep himself."

2. Yeah, that's about it , interesting.

One can speculate in various ways, but I doubt it means much.
