إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية W460

President Michel Aoun warned on Wednesday that the encampments of displaced Syrians in Lebanon could turn into a safe haven for terrorism, hailing the military and security forces efforts in fighting terrorism.

Aoun's comments came during a cabinet meeting at the Presidential Palace in Baabda.

He also noted that revenues at the Customs Department had increased %6.4 within an 80-day period of time compared to last year, knowing that imports have dwindled by %15.

The President also urged political parties to refrain from useless rhetoric.

Turning to the judicial authorities, he urged them to “assume a key role to end the rampant security chaos and to coordinate efforts with the security forces to that end.”

"The state's image can only be protected through measures," he stressed.

On a different note, Aoun called for firmer measures to curb the violations of public maritime properties.

it's now being used as a save haven for s.o.s the terrorist and his wahabi lovers.

as the Palestinian refugee camps which were aimed to host only the poor palestinians who fled the zionist occupation of Palestine, were and now are used as save haven for Fadl Shaker among many others..

you mean like dahieh and how it was supposed to be a place for poor uneducated shias who came to the big city in search of a better life and how it turned out to be a safe haven for outlaws, drug dealers, wanted criminals and terrorists like nassrallah.

Terrorism is not limited to a geographic location but is based on a 7th century ideology whose followers believe that they have a "divine" duty to kill all those who do not agree.
