Army: Abdullah Azzam Brigades Terrorist Killed in Bekaa Clash

إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية W460

The army said Thursday that a Palestinian suspect who was killed during a clash in the eastern Bekaa Valley was a member of an al-Qaida-linked group.

Ibrahim Abdul Mohti Abou Maaileq, known as Abi Jaafar, succumbed to his wounds in hospital on Wednesday, the army said.

He was shot after he attempted to flee a checkpoint the military had erected in an attempt to stop him.

Abi Jaafar, who is a member of the Abdullah Azzam Brigades, was in a black Chrysler when he hit a soldier at the checkpoint while trying to flee. He also opened fire on the unit deployed there, injuring an officer, the army said.

He was also wounded when the members of the checkpoint fired back at him. He later died in hospital.

The army said that it was searching for another suspect who was with him at the time of the incident but has escaped.

The army communique said the suspect had ties with the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) and coordinated with its leader in the Syrian area of al-Qalamoun that lies near Lebanon's eastern border.

Abi Jaafar smuggled suicide bombers to Lebanon and plotted terrorist bombings, it said.

An ID in the name of Ahmed Omar Saleh was found with him, it added.

The Abdullah Azzam Brigades has claimed responsibility for suicide bombings that have targeted the Iranian Embassy in Beirut's southern suburbs in November.

Its leader, Majed al-Majed, was arrested by the army last month and said he later died at a military hospital in Beirut from a chronic illness.

I have many LF friends, and can tell you 100% they are not Qaeda supporters. Just because they believe in a Hariri alliance is more beneficial than HA, does not mean they support Qaeda. This is an argument I see on here a lot. Just because Hariri has good relations with KSA, does not mean the majority Sunni majority supports Qaeda or Assir. I understand the KSA in some way has a relationship with these extremists, but what real Lebanese believes LF or Hariri want these guys? These guys are a shame/a distraction to their cause, but they do not support them. They want to kill them. So please stop saying this.

zahle1, u're ridiculous to answer logically to mowaten about alqaeda and ksa.
He doesnt care about arguments, all he wants is to attack ksa and sunnis, coz he's a HA and Iran groopie.
He knows that there're no links between ksa gov and alqaeda, he knows that ksa arrests and beheads takfiri terrorists(with blood on their hands). He knows as well that AQ takfiris declared war on AlSaud( calling them mortada and AlSalul). Mowaten knows very well the strong links between Iran and terrorism, but the guy is just pretending...

These Takfiris usually have a spoon hanging from their necks, seen quite a few pics today, they say they'll use the spoon to eat diner with the holy prophet (saws) after they get killed. 7aram, leave the holy prophet (saws) in peace, but my question to them is this, since they have this stainless spoon to use after they die, why does it stay behind then? Interesting these people are, No? Linking the physical to the spiritual?

Brother phoenix1 don't get in to this argument, these people who kill innocence are criminals . but to all these hizbollah and Iran cheerleaders just remember your party brought these criminals to syria and lebanon you should not have stuck your noses in where it doesn't belong because now you have unleashed hell on every lebanese nowhere in lebanon is safe and the only people who suffer are lebanese who go about their normal business .
