إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية W460

State Commissioner to the Military Court Judge Saqr Saqr issued around two hundred arrest and search and investigation warrants against suspects who had breached security across Lebanon.

According to the state-run National News Agency reported on Monday, Saqr issued 200 arrest and search and investigation warrants last week against 200 criminals from the northern city of Tripoli, the city of Bekaa and Beirut.

They are charged with various crimes, including, involvement in gunbattles, theft, stealing cars and bombing them, the possession of arms and explosives, forging official documents, murder and attempted murder.

Lebanon has been rocked with violence linked to the Syrian war. It has been particularly on edge since the revolt against Syrian President Bashar Assad kicked off in 2011.

Lebanon has witnessed car and suicide bombings, rocket attacks and gunfights between pro- and anti-Assad fighters in several cities and towns.

The country has also seen a rise in the wave of kidnappings. Abductors usually ask for ransom.

It is past time to go after the "big fish" ... The Mafia bosses and their clients in government ...

Netting the small fish only works temporarily. It is time to nail the capos and their bosses to the wall.

as long as they start going really after those wanted by the international court and those harboring them, it is OK by me.

Mr. Saqr, you still have a lot of work ahead of you, the real figure should look like a hundred times bigger. You have your work cut out for you, good luck and good fortune, you'll need them.
