Suleiman Urges Armed Forces Not to be Lenient with Terrorists
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
President Michel Suleiman urged on Friday the Lebanese Armed Forces to confront terrorists and criminals no matter how much sacrifices they make.
In a statement issued by Baabda Palace, Suleiman said: “All terrorist activities that target the members of the army and police won't stop those forces from implementing the decision of the government to preserve security and stability.”
The cabinet approved on Thursday a security plan for the northern city of Tripoli and the northern areas of the Bekaa Valley bordering Syria. It instructed the armed forces to seize weapons caches and take all measures to arrest armed men in Tripoli in addition to kidnappers and assailants involved in car theft in the Bekaa.
Suleiman urged the armed forces to stick to the measures that they are taking in hotspots and “not to be lenient with terrorists and criminals no matter how much sacrifices they make so that they preserve civil peace and security.”
The president also said that the army and security forces “should cut the road to those who sought to turn the nation into a hostage to serve terrorists and criminals.”
He extended his condolences to the families and relatives of a soldier and an Internal Security Forces member killed in the northern city of Tripoli respectively on Thursday and Friday.
ISF member Butros al-Bayaa was in his Range Rover when armed men opened fire on him in the area of al-Qobbeh on Friday morning. He died after he was shot in the head.
As for army warrant officer Fadi al-Jubaili, he was killed early Thursday by two masked gunmen riding a motorcycle in the area of Boulevard.
Suleiman also lauded the army, which pursued Sami al-Atrash, a terrorist wanted in connection with car bomb attacks against Hizbullah.
Al-Atrash was killed Thursday in a shootout as the army tried to arrest him in the northeastern town of Arsal near the Syrian border.

Yes, the army should not be lenient with the terror party and its supporters. Enough of the double standards

What a moron, we all know he's talking about LAF/ISF killers in the north and arsal. Your constant twisting of everything to point to the 'terror party' is as untruthful, pathetic, and frustrating for the average lebanese (not the paid shills who vote your frivolities up).

Non biased approaches are the best, supporting ONLY the Lebanese Army and ISF.

"Suleiman urged the armed forces to stick to the measures that they are taking in hotspots and “not to be lenient with terrorists and criminals no matter how much sacrifices they make so that they preserve civil peace and security.”
I hope these measures also involve Hezbollah's armed terrorists who roam freely around Lebanon carrying guns, blocking roads, shooting bullets in the air that rain back down all over Beirut whenever Hassan farts!

truly supporting the LAF means giving way to the LAF and giving up hizbushaitan weapons to it to make it stronger.
do you support that?
if not, then you are against the LAF whatever you say.
