A number of suspects were charged on Monday in the case of firing rockets at Baabda and Beirut's southern suburbs of Dahieh.
Military Examining Magistrate Fadi Sawwan charged 17 arrested suspects in the case.
Ten of the suspects were previously charged with forming an armed gang aimed at carrying out terrorist activity and firing rockets.
They were also accused of attempted murder.
If convicted, all these charges can lead to the maximum punishment of the death penalty.
Sawwan also issued search an investigation warrants against a number of Lebanese and Syrian individuals.
On August 30, State Commissioner to the Military Court Judge Saqr Saqr ordered the detention of suspects allegedly involved in the cases of firing rockets from Ballouneh on Baabda and from the South towards Israel.
Media reports had said that the suspected intended to target the Defense Ministry in Yarze, but one rocket hit a high-voltage power line in a nearby town and a second rocket failed to launch. The launchpads were found in Ballouneh.
On August 1, two rockets fired from an area near the town of Aramoun in Aley struck locations near the presidential palace and the Defense Ministry in Baabda.
In May, four people were wounded when two rockets were fired at the Maroun Misk neighborhood in Dahieh.

Well, as long as we can correctly interpret the "news": the accused seem to be M-14-"linked". I noticed over the weekend that nineteen or twenty-one Syrian insurgent groups have refused to take part in a peace conference, but also that this development was not featured in the major news outlets, such as Al Jazeera, nor US domestic sources like MSNBC. So that tells us where, for example, Al Jazeera and thus Qatar stand on that issue. "As long as we're clear here."

The only one pointing to M8 or Hezb is you!
If the identity of the assailants is not shared its most probably from the investigators, not Naharnet.
But your used to launching "free" and baseless accusations at anyone who doesn't share your views that Lebanon should be handed over to Bashar and Nasrallah on a silver platter, no questions asked!

By the way, this is typical Nassarallh behavior to "defend" himself even before people starts pointing finger at him.
