4 Asir Supporters Held in Connection with Botched Costa Attack
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
Four supporters of detained Islamist cleric Ahmed al-Asir were arrested Monday in the southern city of Sidon in connection with Saturday's botched suicide attack on Hamra's Costa cafe, state-run National News Agency reported.
“An army intelligence force raided several locations in the city of Sidon and its suburbs this afternoon,” NNA said, adding that four Asir sympathizers were arrested in the crackdown.
It identified them as Mohammed M. (owner of a car repair shop in the al-Hesbeh area), Marwan H. (hairdresser in the Taamir Ain el-Hilweh area), Mohammed D. (owner of a juice shop in the Zaroub al-Njasa area, and Hilal A.
“The arrests are linked to the investigations into the Costa incident,” the agency added.
Two brothers and two relatives of the Costa would-be suicide bomber, Omar al-Assi, were arrested Sunday at his family home in Sidon.
According to media reports, Assi had been injured during a 2013 Sidon gunfight between Asir's group and the Hizbullah-affiliated Resistance Brigades. He later became affiliated with the extremist Islamic State group which ordered him to carry out Saturday's failed attack.

A job well done by the army intelligence force.
What is left is to execute them, and let God sort them out!

I remember when March 14 zombies defended Assir for going against Hezbollah (before he went on his killing spree).

@mowateh; try saying something relevant every once in a while but if that's too difficult for you go hang yourself from a crane in central tehran or better yet sit on a cluster bomb and spare us your wilayat al faqih rhetoric.
habboub dont be so pathetic. when you have nothing to say, say nothing. trolls will speak of everything except the points that matter.

you've exposed yourself more than once @mowateh, making mistake after mistake that show you're not lebanese but a shia iranian follower of wilayat al faqih.
btw, laughing uncontrollably is a sign of mental illness, as one of your fake accounts used to repeat every day.

the article heading is : 4 Asir Supporters Held in Connection with Botched Costa Attack
mowaten of iran's first comment on the article is :"janoubi: we know you do, because you're not from south lebanon, you're from south of lebanon."
that is not called harassment or trolling.... it is pure relevance. Then he lectures others on saying something relevant for once?
Sick!

You are absolutely right giga. M14 clowns love Assir and his followers as long as they stay away from the resort town of Farayah.
