Report: Suicide Bombers Linked to Fugitive Mansour Active in Tripoli

إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية W460

Suicide bombers affiliated to fugitive Ousama Mansour have been detected in several areas in the northern city of Tripoli as media reports said that his wanted accomplice Shadi al-Mawlawi is directly linked to the two men who carried out the Jabal Mohsen attack.

An Nahar newspaper reported on Tuesday that the movement of around ten members of Mansour's group have been perceived in the north. They are reportedly carrying explosive belts.

The newspaper said that detained suspects confessed during investigations with the Internal Security Forces Intelligence Bureau that they were in contact with the suicide bombers, Taha al-Khayyal and Bilal al-Meraayan, who carried out the twin suicide bombing in Tripoli's Jabal Mohsen neighborhood.

On Sunday, al-Qaida-affiliate al-Nusra Front threatened the residents of Tripoli's Jabal Mohsen and Hizbullah with new attacks, a day after it claimed responsibility for the attack that killed nine and wounded more than 37 others.

The bombing was carried out in a packed cafe in Jabal Mohsen, a Lebanese district that is largely loyal to Syrian President Bashar Assad.

Meanwhile, al-Akhbar newspaper reported on Tuesday that al-Khayal and Meraayan have links with al-Mawlawi.

The newspaper reported that investigations are ongoing in Saturday's attack as the data of al-Khayal's phone is being analyzed.

Khayal reportedly moved from the southern Palestinian refugee camp of Ain el-Hilweh to Jabal Mohsen ahead of the attack.

Al-Mawlawi and Mansour have been charged in absentia with belonging to an armed terrorist group in order to stage terrorist acts.

Recent reports said that al-Mawlawi has taken refuge in Ain el-Hilweh.

The attackers, al-Khayal and Meraayan, had disappeared when the wanted terrorists went into hiding following the deadly gunbattles with the Lebanese army in and around Tripoli in October, they said.

I respect Mr. Mawlawi, Mr. Mughniyeh, Mr. Mowaten, Mr. Flamethrower, and Mr. Sukleen equally.

lol anonyme, you clearly have no idea and yet you keep opening your mouth proving how ignorant you are.
many wanted people, especially in tabbeneh, carry explosive belts day and night as a means to dissuade security forces from arresting them.
they have been seen in the streets, at funerals, in intereviews and documentaries, and made those threats on many public instances. it is indeed shocking, and one has to wonder why the security agencies are not doing anything about it, but it is nonetheless true.

and it's nothing new. here's a case dating back to 2007:

"On Tuesday, another Fatah al-Islam militant - wearing a suicide belt - blew himself up in an apartment in Tripoli as security forces closed in on him."

Correct, this is why everyone is wondering how you are still around :)

Shareef, get used to freedom of speech & democracy M14 style.

I challenge you or anyone else to post a civil comment that is not in the best interest of M14 on Naharnet & also a civil comment not in the best interest of M8 on Al Akhbar....See who will respect your opinion regardless of your stance & allow your comments to remain & who will delete your comments for no other reason than serving their masters.

Once you find the answer, you will understand what freedom of speech & democracy actually means for M14 & their media outlets.

well said the_roar, very well said. Tired of posting under 20 other aliases?

Thumb the_roar 13 January 2015, 13:29

If you can show a single shred of evidence that I have ever used more than one name...I will become the biggest M14 fan...but since you can't, I will thank you for confirming for us all how M14 & their mods on their media outlets continue to behave.

God bless freedom of speech & democracy M14 style.

Thumb the_roar 13 January 2015, 13:36

You don;t get suspended on naharnet for making false names or insulting.

You only get suspended if you post anti M14.

don't pretend to be innocent. You are getting banned because you have many accounts and naharnet is cleaning up. You are not a new poster but rather an existing poster with thorough knowledge of the forum and its posters. You are similar to mowaten, flamethrower, josephani, and this roar.

I am the_roar: I am a regular poster on naharnet. I have 20 fake accounts and I live on this forum 24/7. I make fake accounts and insult people when I have no argument or debate. I am a Shia who pretends not to speak Arabic and claims to live in Australia. I know every street in Lebanon and every MP's name despite my claim that I am 3rd generation Australian and having never been to Lebanon. I lie and lie and lie and think people believe me.
