إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية W460

Unrest erupted in the northern city of Tripoli on Monday evening as grenades exploded in several neighborhoods and liquor stores were torched in the el-Mina area.

“Two people were wounded as gunshots fired from al-Qobbeh targeted Jabal Mohsen,” OTV said.

Quoting the Arab Democratic Party, the main political and armed force in Jabal Mohsen, LBCI television said the civilian Jamil Jammas and army Lieutenant Ali al-Osta were wounded when gunfire targeted the al-Amerkan area.

In a separate incident, a clash erupted on Minot Street in Tripoli's el-Mina after two liquor stores were stormed and vandalized, according to al-Jadeed television.

Three liquor stores were later torched in the area, al-Jadeed said.

The TV network also reported that the sounds of explosions were heard in Tripoli's al-Mitain Street, el-Mina, Bab al-Tabbaneh and Syria Street.

State-run National News Agency said unknown individuals tossed a stun grenade on Syria Street near the Starco area. The grenade did not cause any casualties or damage and army troops scrambled to the scene, NNA added.

Nusra front was created by the giraffe to stir chaos and to prove to the world he alone can beat them. Now we have them inside Lebanon.... Defeating them means defeating him.

Let's beat up these terrorists.

L'Orient le Jour is just as like Al Manar or Now Lebanon, same stuff on the payroll of foreigners.
We do not have independant medias in Lebanon.

ROFL benzo, yes yes, assad was so bored he decided to put together 100,000 fanatics (importing tens of thousands from his allies in saudi, libya, tunis, chechnya, afghanistan) to murder and butcher alawites and shias and try to topple him.
that latest propaganda line you all have been repeating like programmed zombies is the funniest to date.

arsal is a medium for terrorist growth, like bacteria

they always have been

the salafis must be contained with utmost force because they are terrorist sympathizers and dream of the day they can import al nusra fsalqaida style culture into lebanon and hence the support

the brainless, like benzona for example, believe this is all because of somebody else and not the salafi terrorist sympathizers in tripol arsal sidon etc because he's blinded by sectarian hate and also because he doesn't live in lebanon LOL

remember the reaction of m14 when the minister of defense warned arsal was being infiltrated by al qaeda, about 2 years ago?
they burnt him down and screamed like crazy that he was inventing it. today while looking back, what can one think? were m14 not aware and just being scandalized our of candor? or did they try to cover it up with screams and denial?

*out of candor

ya mowaten ya mousharraf inta, don't you know screaming and denial is the M14 way? They inherited it from their manchild idol false-prophet sa3doun

it comes as no surprise that M14 tried to silence one of their members for brining a scandal of their own, which are inumerous, to light. Speaking of, anyone heard of geagea as of late???? lool

Oddly enough, Tripoli and Saida used to be very beautiful cities. Saida still is in some ways. Its a tragedy what the wahabi influence has done to a certain section of the population living there.

weird that no one is accusing hezbollah about torching the liquor shops.
2 years ago, when such move occured in Nabatieh, in Sarafand and then in Sour, some commentators on this website accused the shia about it.
However, the media then, did not reported that the authors of these crimes were sunnits fundamentalists from Rachidieh and Ein Helweh.
History doesn't lie but many have are short minded when it comes to facts and are easily forgetting their past sins

Thumb _mowaten_ 01 October 2013, 15:21

actually the media did report it. i remember reading that the army investigations led them to salafis in ain el helweh.
but indeed, it was completely downplayed once this became known.

evil evil moukhabarat, trying to exterminate alawites and christians just to make qaeda look bad.

Thumb _mowaten_ 01 October 2013, 15:19

no, for once gabby is right, as he said himself: "rumors"
there is also a rumor that aliens have landed on earth, and are secretly colonizing us, eating our brains and replacing it with dirt to make us robots like baggy14 here.
