Report: Pre-Emptive Security Operations Foil Beirut Attack Plot
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
The General Security Directorate was able to thwart an Islamic State group terror scheme, that had plans to target Beirut's Central District, al-Akhbar daily reported on Tuesday.
The daily added that the Islamic State's plans were “exceptional” this time, after it managed to infiltrate the real estate company of Solidere and recruit one of the employees.
The breached employee was not an ordinary worker, it said. He was the man responsible for follow-up on the surveillance cameras belonging to Solidere in Downtown. He was tasked by the IS to set a list of targets.
The employee is a Lebanese and hails from Sidon, added the daily. His task was to collect information about political figures, economic and tourist sites in the said area.
He was also tasked to gather information about the entrances that lead to the residence of Prime Minster Saad Hariri which lies in the area.
The General Security arrested the suspect on the 10th of January after he was “technically exposed,” judicial sources told the daily.
He confessed during interrogations that he was recruited by a Palestinian man residing in the southern refugee camp of Ain el-Hilweh. He tasked him with collecting data about all potential targets in Downtown Beirut.
In that regard, General Security chief Maj. Gen. Abbas Ibrahim held talks with Hariri and briefed him on the pre-emptive operation, added al-Akhbar.
In a telephone call with the daily, Interior Minister Nouhad al-Mashnouq said: “The General Security carried out a pre-emptive operation and was able to foil a terror attack. The detainees were referred to the military justice more than ten days ago.”

I have to show my disrespect for the employee who was trying to collect information about political figures, economic and tourist sites in the said area and for not knowing this information is readily available on google maps and google earth which is now a free application.
I could not write this comment with expressing my deep appreciation and respect for General Security chief Maj. Gen. Abbas Ibrahim for making the suspect confess.

"ISIS managed to infiltrate the real estate company of Solidere and recruit one of the employees.... the employee is a Lebanese..."
if @eagledawn, @terrorist, @Arabdemocrat or @mohammad_ca were Lebanese, i would have thought that it could be one of them.

He is an employee of Solidere in Downtown, yet he was tasked to collect information on 'tourist sites in the said area.'
Can they come up with a better fabrication? For heavens sake, the man is an employee of Solidere and works downtown and he already knows what needs to be known about Downtown.
The man might be guilty of something but to present the accusations in this fashion is just a joke.

Someone needs to call out the squatters on this site that have nothing to do but attack the person & not address the article.
Lets start from the beginning of this article & see how it started off.
The Gif lurker attacked without provocation.
So lets play ball fellas & stop crying when someone calls you out.

الموظف الذي جنده "داعش" لتنفيذ مخطط إرهابي في السوليدير يعمل كناطور في احد مباني وسط بيروت وليس المعنيّ بمتابعة كاميرات المراقبة كما قيل.
but according to Al Akhbar :
"The breached employee was not an ordinary worker, it said. He was the man responsible for follow-up on the surveillance cameras belonging to Solidere in Downtown. He was tasked by the IS to set a list of targets."

How did Solidere "stoled" your identity? You were a shia iranian, you still a shia iranian, and you will always be a shia iranian.

Previously, you mentioned you were the only son to a rich shia European family. Now you're saying your family also built lebanon? Interesting creature you are.
