A total of 21 US embassies and consulates closed on Sunday following concerns of a heightened terror threat<\/a> issued by the State Department.<\/p>\n

Wow, there’s so many things to celebrate this week: Beirut made it to yet another top 10<\/a> amazing rooftops list, Ramadan is about to wind down with Eid El Fitr festivities, and for once – Lebanon isn’t being included among the countries which pose a serious terror threat to the US. <\/p>\n

Alhamdulillah.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
