Ibrahim Says Lebanon Battling Terrorism in Arsal
General Security chief Maj. Gen. Abbas Ibrahim stressed on Saturday that Lebanon is waging a battle in the outskirts of the border town of Arsal in order to “eliminate terrorism.'
“We are fighting in Arsal's outskirts in order to wipe out terrorism,” said Abbas during a trip he made Saturday to the southern town of Nabatieh.
On the Lebanese flags that were flown above houses in Arsal and Nabatieh, Abbas commented saying: “The scene of flags flown up in Arsal and Nabatieh aim to send a message to terrorists, telling them that we (Lebanese) know well how to fight and we know well how to be joyous.”
Stressing the need to stay united, Ibrahim said: “The best thing we need these days is unity. It is much stronger than bullets or arms.”
The Security chief pointed out that the General Security was able to crackdown on a number of terror cells that had plans to target Nabtieh, he said: “Our role will continue and we will keep on clamping down on theses cells that sabotage security and stability.”
