Charbel Says Lebanon Couldn’t be Base for Qaida

إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية W460

Interior Minister Marwan Charbel denied on Friday any al-Qaida presence in Lebanon, stressing that the country could be a route for the group but not a base.

He said during a press conference at the ministry that Defense Minister Fayez Ghosn’s statements on al-Qaida were taken out of context.

Asked about the Lebanese authorities’ attempt to arrest the four suspects accused by the Special Tribunal for Lebanon of being behind ex-Prime Minister Rafik Hariri’s assassination, Charbel said: “We carried out our duties… they were able to escape but we are still pursuing them.”

The minister confirmed that his ministry implements all STL requests within 48 hours.

Charbel stated the achievements of the Interior Ministry during the past 6 months, revealing the arrest of 11 Lebanese, Syrian, and Palestinian nationals who carried out 122 crimes including killings and robberies across Lebanon.

He told the pan-Arab daily Asharq al-Awsat on Friday that the Central Security Council took important measures to preserve security in Lebanon.

“The Council discussed the accomplishments achieved by the security and military during the year,” he said about the meeting he presided at his office in the ministry on Tuesday.

Charbel noted that the Council’s meeting is a routine procedure taken at the end of each year.

Look guys even habalkamel has more sense than to keep the corrupt Berri thugs flag as his avatar. You should be commended for this small achievement sir, goes to show that even someone with your limited intellectual capacity caused by multiple generations of bottom of the barrel inbreeding can come to realize that the more you grow the wiser you could become, you;ll never become a no brain surgeon or nuclear physicist but baby steps.

Jabal Habal, you're an idiot...my parrot talks better than you...remember if you are able to that your master Hassouna said that nahr el bared is a red line and he was ignored.

@ jabalamel, do not include the so called resistance, if my memory serves me correct, the leader red lined such an act on Nahr El Bared !

jabalminelhabal, please stop contradicting yourself
yesterday you wrote:

"also, this people from Al-Jamaa al-Islamiya are so trustworthy. if they say there isn't al qaida you can bet your life on it."

Today you agree with Al-Jamaa al-Islamiya.

Boy I sure hope you are the odd man out in your Zionist spy infested bee3a al hadeena otherwise we have a major future problem what with the rabbit in heat like multiplying going on there.

I would suggest you collectively quit the practice of head bashing every time some guy loses his head, in fact studies have shown with a medical certainty that the barbaric practice will not knock any sense into the assaulted now bleeding head nor will it damage the blunt weapon causing the said bleeding.

the filthy zionist information war department is resorting to usual insults and stupidities and also, they halucinate that i agree with Al-Jamaa al-Islamiya. i really don't know they managed to conclude this, but again, it's beyond the normal person so i won't bother to understand them

jabalminelhabal let's go back to yesterday... do you remember yesterday or should I use hypnoses to take you back, nah simply just read the following:

On the Naharnet story "Al-Jamaa al-Islamiya Denies al-Qaida Presence in Lebanon" jabalminelhabal was busy writing "cleaver" repartee on how "trustworthy" the Jamaa with their claim are, comes over to this story and essentially repeats the same thing they said, that al-Qaeda are not present be in Lebanon in his case because of May 7 2008 and Nahr el bared in 2007.

And this is why I urge you jabalminelhabal please stop the head bashing practice your Zionist spy infested bee3a al hadeena's turbaned Guru tells you to do, as you have illustrated it could cause severe memory loss, besides the turbaned swami has the turban to protect his "brain" from the blunt object he's hitting hid head with, you have nothing but skin and skull.

@Habal/Sweat_Satan: Hassouna and Berri are cancer to the Land of freedom and as long as they have political representation in the state, Lebanon will not rest in peace. Both Shiite leaders are a shame to your religion since they forcefully impose their Syrian/Iranian agenda on you little citizens by brain washing you that their ideology is the real anti-zionist way to free Palestine. Unfortunately their agenda will keep our Country in a war state so that Iran and Syria citizens can enjoy peace since they rely on you brain washed people to trigger war with Israel (i.e. 2006), let's face it the Jewish state want to live in peace but your arms will ensure that their drone never leave our space so in essence they live on the edge with your arms and status quo and our Country remains at war awaiting a push button from Iran and Syria. You are protecting the latter but not your own Country therefore you belong to them and you are their asset.
