Report: Gulf Nationals among Terrorist Suspects Rounded up by Army
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
Police and the army have arrested Lebanese, Gulf and Syrian nationals having hundreds of thousands of dollars in their possession for the purpose of buying arms, As Safir daily reported on Monday.
The ISF arrested a couple of weeks ago a Lebanese man in the northern city of Tripoli. He had 200,000 dollars in his possession, it said.
Police also apprehended earlier this month a man, likely a Syrian, carrying with him 300,000 dollars.
As Safir quoted well-informed security sources as saying that the suspect intended to buy explosives and arms for extremist groups based in Lebanon.
Two Lebanese and a Syrian have also been arrested by the Army Intelligence in Beirut on suspicion of belonging to a terrorist group and having ties to the weapons purchases, the report said.
As part of the arrests carried out by the military, two Gulf nationals who head terrorist networks were stopped after landing in Lebanon from Turkey, As Safir said.
Foreign intelligence agencies have informed Lebanese security apparatuses that sleeper cells linked to the Islamic State group and al-Nusra Front are present in several Lebanese regions.
The recent raids carried out by the army and police across Lebanon are a sign that the military would not tolerate their presence.
A security official told As Safir that dozens of suspects have been recently arrested to stop terrorists from operating in Lebanon.

Two Lebanese and a Syrian have also been arrested by the Army Intelligence in Beirut on suspicion of belonging to a terrorist group and having ties to the weapons purchases, the report said.
Dear Army Intelligence: Any news regarding the color of the "Yellow" KIA used by HA in the assassination of minister Shatah?
Dear Army Intelligence: Any news on what you are doing to stop the flow of money to HA through Lebanese Banks?
Dear Army Intelligence: You allow Nasrallah to go fight in Syria and when he invited others to go fight in Syria, you arrest them on the " suspicion of belonging to a terrorist group and having ties to the weapons purchases"
Have a good day!

eagledown, what about asking the ISF intelligence where their investigation is? why not ask the justice minister, your beloved ashraf rifi, how the case is being built? or ask the prime minister how he is following up on the matter? i mean after all they are responsible, and should be the first ones to want to know, since shatah was one of theirs...
isnt it weird they all forgot about him? maybe they never really cared about him, maybe he was too moderate for the taste of their more wahhabi sponsors...

spare us your cheap propaganda mowaten. What did your Aouni-Houthi government do to unveil any of these crimes. HA murdered these people and the youngest child in Dahyeh knows that. Nothing you have said or will say will change the facts. I told you before, you used to be good at propaganda but not anymore.

you too developed a houthi obsession? lol what little credibility you ever had you just lost with this silliness.
and what the youngest child in lebanon knows, is that your accusation is empty and motivated solely by political and sectarian bias and hatred. if there is a case, let your m14 government put it together, you no longer have the excuse of a m8 government to whine about.

Eagle Dawn obviously supports the head chopping barbarians who would like to exterminate all who do not share the same extremist views. As simple as that.

how is that relevant? first you have no idea where he is from, and second what would being from dahiyeh imply? that he is shia? and so? are you so sectarian that all you need to ignore his point is to designate him as shia?
so weak and pathetic.

100% lqu7, not to mention the genocide of kurds committed by isis and sponsored by turkey. how do they explain that? kurds remained neutral until they came under the fire of takfiri extremists.
everybody knows the takfiri ideology, their methods, their actions, their ambitions. the only ones pretending not to are the deception agents trying to sow confusion and division among us.

it seems to me that some forgets Michel samaha and who is behind him.
by the way: why is he still not judged?
until when will hizbushaitan protect him?

He's not judged for the same reason Lady Gaga isn't where he belongs. Broken system in a country that panders to Christian warlords. Go figure.

The broken record of M14ers about HA fighting in Syria is causing the terrorists to come to Lebanon... How deluded must you be to believe this crap? Was HA fighting in Syria when Dunniyeh terrorists attacked our army? Was HA fighting in Syria when Nahr el Bared happened? Did Christian Iraqis fight in Syria to cause their mass exodus from their homes? Of course, you guys can't answer these questions because you're cowards.
