BEIRUT — Amid a recently accelerated crackdown on narcotics distribution in the country, the Internal Security Forces (ISF) arrested a man involved in drug trafficking in the Kesrouan district, according to an ISF statement released Wednesday. "The arrest was made on July 25 in Ghazir, where the suspect was caught red-handed promoting narcotics from a white Nissan vehicle," according to the ISF. The ISF's Information Division had received information about an individual distributing drugs in multiple areas throughout Kesrouan, the statement explains. Following "intensive field surveillance and investigations," the suspect — born in 1990 —was identified and tracked down. During the arrest, officers found 10 bags containing boxes labeled "$50" filled with cocaine, six bags with boxes labeled "NET" also containing cocaine, two bags with boxes labeled "$100" containing crack cocaine, and one bag with boxes marked "VIP $100" containing cocaine, and a sum of money.

Blackstone Executive Wesley LePatner Identified Among Victims in Manhattan Office Shooting
New York — July 29, 2025 – Blackstone executive Wesley LePatner has been confirmed as one of the victims killed during a deadly shooting at a Manhattan office building Monday evening, officials said. The shooting unfolded at 345 Park Avenue, a Midtown high-rise that houses major tenants including Blackstone, the NFL, Rudin Management, and KPMG. According to New York City Mayor Eric Adams, the gunman—identified as Shane Tamura, 38—was targeting the NFL headquarters but mistakenly accessed the wrong elevator bank. Once inside, he opened fire, killing four people, including Blackstone executive Wesley LePatner, before taking his own life. LePatner held the role of Global Chief Operating Officer for Blackstone's real estate asset management group. She was a respected leader with years of experience overseeing multibillion-dollar commercial portfolios. 'Wesley LePatner was not only a brilliant executive but a beloved member of our team. Her loss is immeasurable,' Blackstone said in a company statement. Sequence of the Attack: Blackstone Executive Wesley LePatner Surveillance footage shows Tamura exiting a BMW outside the building at around 6:30 p.m. Armed with an M4-style rifle, he stormed the lobby, killing off-duty NYPD officer Didarul Islam, a woman, and a security guard. He then took the elevator to the 33rd floor, where he shot and killed Blackstone executive Wesley LePatner at the offices of Rudin Management, before dying by suicide. Investigators discovered a note on Tamura's body referencing CTE (chronic traumatic encephalopathy) and his grievances against the NFL, stemming from his days playing high school football. Authorities continue to explore his mental health history and motivation.
