Geagea Hails Asir's Arrest despite his Disguise 'while Known Killers Run Free'
Lebanese Forces chief Samir Geagea praised on Sunday the security agencies for their arrest of Salafist cleric Sheikh Ahmed al-Asir, deeming it a “major achievement.”
He wondered however: “How is it that Asir was arrested, despite his full disguise and fake passport, while the same agencies have failed to arrest the killers of Hashem al-Salman and Sobhi and Nadimeh Fakhri even though they never wore a disguise?”
He made his observations via his Twitter account.
“How is it that these same agencies have not been able to stop street, drug, and kidnapping gangs in the Bekaa region even though they are well-known and are free to roam the country?” continued Geagea.
Asir was arrested at Beirut's Rafik Hariri International Airport on Saturday as he attempted to leave the country to Nigeria through Egypt.
He was using a fake Palestinian passport and had underwent a number of plastic surgeries and was dressed as a woman to alter his appearance.
The firebrand anti-Hizbullah cleric is wanted for his involvement in the clashes against the army in the southern city of Sidon in 2013.
Salman was killed in 2013 in a scuffle between supporters of Hizbullah and protesters near the Iranian embassy in Beirut.
The demonstrators were holding a sit-in near the embassy to protest Hizbullah's involvement in the war raging in Syria.
Sobhi Fakhri and his wife Nadimeh were killed in 2014 in a crime committed by fugitives from al-Jaafar clan in the Baalbek town of Btedei.
The gunmen were fleeing raids carried out by the Lebanese army in the Dar al-Wasaa area when they entered the Fakhri house with the intent of taking their vehicle.
The family refused to meet the demands of the armed men, which prompted them to shoot the couple and their son.
None of the perpetrators in the crimes have been arrested.

That war was one decided by Iran in tandem with Syria, Hezbollah obeyed the orders and started the war. By definition, your Hassan Nasrallah is a war criminal, as well as a professional murderer, murdering its political opponents. Now guess, who assassinated Wissam El Hassan? Don't pretend you don't know, but it's fine if you will reply to me in another troll ya Movaten.

Ooooh NO my dear Southern, the evidence in Kuwait is simply overwhelming, any trained eye can easily detect the laborious, numinous, painstaking and detailed work that Hezbollah took in its preparation to start something truly despicable in Kuwait. Hezbollah killed Hariri and most other opponents, Saudi is simply trying to help unearth the evidence that Hezbollah is trying to bury. I told you guys before that the Iran US deal will change matters in the region, you wish to deny, feel free to do so, but in due time skeletons will begin to surface.

Dr. Geagea the answer is easy : because they are ashraf nass , pure and simple.

ضاحي خلفان: “حزب الله” مافيا ونصرالله لم يحترم نفسه
اعتبر قائد شرطة دبي السابق ضاحي خلفان ان “أمين عام “حزب الله” حسن نصرالله مهمته اليوم إرهاب دول الخليج وزرع ترسانات أسلحة فيها لتكون بأيدي أفراد حزبه ليواجهوا بها الحكومات، مشيرا الى ان “جيش حزب الله يتحدى جيش الدولة”.

marcus, I think the hezbollah terror cell unveiled in Kuwait will have serious consequences. The confessions are startling and the weapons seized were huge, enough for an army. The terrorists confessed to receiving training in Lebanon with hezbollah. Expect a collective gulf reaction..

Why nasrallah is not in jail for the 2006 killings of 3000 Lebanese citizens + launching a war against another country without government approval.
Why nasrallah leadership is not in jail for destroying the infrastructure of the state in 2006, stealing the telecom manholes to build its own telecom network and not paying electricity until this day.
Why nasrallah and its leadership not jail for interfering in wars and bombings in other states today. (Philippines, Romania, Cyprus,Iraq,Syria and etc..)

The other interpretation is that, Asiri will play few more slides during the open trial, based on the conspiracy theory created by those who pushed him to commit the crime back in 2013. Where, the fact is that the internal situation in Lebanon is not in favor of those who has "sick" mentality. Why you have to leave the country if you have Syrian border? It makes non-sense. Does it means, that he has no external supporters, thus , he has no back-up? In any scenario, the fact is the fact, less sick people on the streets. And we do not have to pay to much attention, why and why, just because. Because in some cases, there is no answer.

@mowaten E-X-C-E-L-L-E-N-T. Still laughing since the day you declared with a straight face you were a shiaa atheist and also a member of hezbollah with only one account. I think i will also continue to laugh at your statement "Why is Geagea not in prison yet?". Thank you Thank you

Cedars if you want to discuss this, at least start by checking your facts, even the most basic ones are wrong in your comment.
There were 1191 Lebanese who died in 2006, not 3000, and they were killed by Israel, not by Hezbollah.

Leb08, Assir is a terrorist for sure and his arrest if a God sent. Your Hassan Nasrallah is not only a terrorist but also an assassin plotting and killing political opponents. WTF are you people doing in Syria killing Syrians? Or in Yemen? Or now in Kuwait? People like you will continue to refuse, even the very refuse that comes out of your butts and the very best thing that comes out of your mouths is the kind of dirt we're seeing you post on this forum. Geagea in truth is one of the very few who has the guts to stand on your way, and that makes you short of insults towards him. If he was your ally, you would be short of songs of praise towards him, to the point he will even cast a shadow over your Sayed.

thank you phoenix
it is time these criminals hear our voices. Take away their weapons they are absolutely nobody. Take nassrallah's weapons away would he still be waving his finger at us.... i doubt it. If these sectarians want real partnership then we all should be armed or no one is armed.

If Geagea ya Southern is a filthy thug, then I wonder what your Sayed is, certainly not a saint, but a coward hiding underground and sending young men to go and kill and get killed in the name of anyone but Lebanon.

Canadian, Aoun has in his hands the blood of hundreds of Lebanese soldiers and as Ashtah said, he pillioned both east and west Beirut. Aoun was not only an usurper of power by going well beyond his interim mandate, but also a squatter of Baabda, a liar, a corrupted and corruptible person who has scammed people of millions then and now, a deserter who called himself the ship's captain a few hours before fleeing even though he knew he was going to flee incognito, thousands of Lebanese died because of Aoun's madness, let the world wake up.

Make it easy on us and my likes, write in your native Portuguese and we'll simply Google it into English, at least we stand a lot more chances to understand what you're trying to say. You see, I am still giving you the benefit of the doubt, I am still looking at you as a Portuguese who attaches a lot more than is usual interest in our Lebanese affairs. I wish I could say the same of your country's affairs.

ya southern, as the wise phoenix said to mowaten: enough of your lies, enough of your deceit, the whole world is tired of your lies. The terrorist cell arrested in Kuwait is huge and includes many Lebanese who also work in money exchange and received training with hezbollah. The weapons were supplied by Iran including 19,000 kgs of explosives.... Imagine what 19,000 kgs of explosives would do!!!

@phoenix1 If nothing else, Aoun has on his hands the blood of tens of soldiers who died trying to defend him, while he was already in his pajama eating croissants in the French embassy.
Any time he opens his mouth about the Army, someone should shut him up and remind him of the sacrifices those brave soldiers made so he can cozy up with the murderer who tied their hands behind their backs and shot them in the head.

@southern
the cell uncovered in Kuwait has been stacking weapons for over a year and well before the mosque explosion in Kuwait. I am not sure what you say is based on facts or pure speculation due to your obvious dislike for KSA.

Humble, this is the cost of being arrogant, self-centered and cocky. Despite my being an LFer to the bone marrow, I still supported Hezbollah before May 2000 and even after, but after I began seeing what I suspected all along I dropped my support for them. I am not alone in this situation, millions have done what I did. Hezbollah could have remained Lebanese 100%, then we could have been a formidable nation, economically, militarily, culturally, everything, who could shake us? Hezbollah has vapored all our hopes, all our dreams, Hezbollah is 100% Iranian and Syrian and ZERO % Lebanese, now most Arab countries are no-go areas for Hezbollah, as are most parts of Lebanon too.

How about we agree to put nasrallah up for trial for the first 1000 people he caused death in his smart tactics of kidnapping Israelis and interfering with the Lebanese state authorities on how to run a country to safeguard its citizens.
