The Bible recounts a famous prediction of doom about 2, 500 years ago for Tyre--then the capital of Lebanon--courtesy of the prophet Ezekiel, in the book named for him.
It was not all doom and gloom though as HSPC had an increase in number of properties registered over 2008 of 2, 028 properties, the first year ever recorded as having more than 2, 000 properties and an increase on 2007 of 2%.
