Hizbullah Calls for Security Coordination, Says Lebanon Not a Safe Haven for ISIL

إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية W460

Hizbullah official Mohammed Raad called on Saturday for further coordination between security agencies in the fight against terrorism, stressing that jihadists of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) will not find safe haven in Lebanon.

“The security developments in Lebanon require discreet, accurate and serious followup,” MP Raad, the head of Hizbullah's Loyalty to Resistance parliamentary bloc said.

He praised the efforts exerted by the security agencies, in particular the army intelligence, to apprehend “terrorist extremist groups.”

On Friday', a suicide bombing targeted an Internal Security Forces check point in Dahr al-Baydar, killing an officer and wounding several others.

General Security chief Maj. Gen. Abbas Ibrahim had driven past the site of the explosion in his convoy shortly before the blast.

The attack also coincided with a series of raids in the Lebanese capital following reports of a plot to target security posts.

“Had we not interfered in battles in Syria at the appropriate moment, ISIL would have done the same” in Beirut, Raad said, reiterating Hizbullah secretary-general Hassan Nasrallah's stance.

“There is no place in Lebanon for ISIL or those who are supporting it,” Raad noted.

ISIL, which grew from the ranks of al-Qaida before splitting with the global terror network, is active in both Syria and neighboring Iraq and seeks to set up an Islamic state that straddles both countries.

ISIL is not a big threat to lebanon. ISIL can conquer a teritory. However it will not sustain because: 1- It cannot hold a territory. 2-It cannot make an honest alliance. ISIL is the Gengis khan of the 21st century. They are not a threat to lebanon.

The only threat to lebanon is the HA milicia which infiltrated the government and paralized it, killing whomever stood in its way and the Amal thugs which bloat our public administration with useless overpaid employees.

just so Lebanese citizens know who support isil and who works with them and especially who fund them

The LAF and ISF are laboring under circumstances where an alternative organized military force exists on Lebanese sovereign territory and follows it's own unilateral military policy to wage war in neighboring states. It is that policy pursued by Raads party, Hezbollah, that has exposed Lebanon and caused so much difficulty for the Lebanese security agencies and people.

The Lebanese not only must tolerate the Hezbollah's presence in their country under the threat of Hezbollah arms, but we have to clean up their messes and pay the consequences of their myopic selfish decision making. Hezbollah, the 16 year old rich kid whose parents pay the price for having raised a spoked child.

all religious fanatics armed with weapons, beards and false interpretations of their religion to keep on terrorizing their fellow citizens and a population seeking some normality and peace into their life are bascially sick and tired of HA, nusrah, ISIL, ASSAD, IRAN. Honestly, if your HA and then ISIS can just pack and go somewhere and keep slaughtering each other- only then we will have the lebanon we dream of. If you want to take aoun with you- feel free to do so as well.

"called on Saturday for further coordination between security agencies in the fight against terrorism"

never had they ask for that when anti syrian figures and journalists were targeted and killed...oh! maybe they didn't call for security measures knowing they would not be targeted!

but now?
seems they are nervous and afraid....

Hezbollah : you want security ? Stop being the damn reason ISIL and other organisations want to pick up arms and attack Lebanon.

No Hezbollah weapons, no terrorist attacks ! Simple !

The army is perfectly capable of handling them. Proof is Hezbollah was not capable of preventing a single attack anyway meaning their weapons are useless !
