The army intelligence bureau in the South demanded the Palestinian factions and the Islamic parties in Ain el-Hilweh Palestinian refugee camp to detain Abu Mohammed Toufiq Taha and hand him over to the Lebanese judiciary, As Safir newspaper reported on Friday.

“The issue is very dangerous and the army can’t allow anyone to manipulate its security,” a security source told the newspaper.

Abu Mohammed is the head of the Abdullah Azzam Brigades, who is accused of planning attacks against the Lebanese army.

He resides in the Ain el-Hilweh Palestinian refugee camp near the southern city of Sidon but his whereabouts are unknown.

Palestinian sources told al-Joumhouria newspaper that director of the Lebanese Army Intelligence in the South Brig. Ali Shahrour contacted the Palestinian forces in the refugee camp.

He demanded them to hand over Abu Mohammed “immediately,” or the army will be forced to take new procedures near the refugee camp.

The army had boosted its security measures near Ain el-Hilweh during the past few days.

The Lebanese army had discovered a “takfiri” network in which two soldiers, allegedly involved in the cell, had planned to carry out attacks against the army.

The army detained a group that consists of six people, who are affiliated with the Abdullah Azzam Brigades – al-Qaida network, as the army is seeking to arrest the head of the network.

State commissioner to the military court Judge Saqr Saqr charged the six Lebanese suspects with the attempt to “carry out terrorist acts and operations against the Lebanese army.”

The sunni extremists and co. wish for a destabilizing situation in lebanon which would pave way for a confrontational war against the hizb in the long run, but their first obstacle in the way is the army so slowly they wish to disintegrate it in order to lay out the red carpet for their masters, the sunnis like to keep the palestenian's arms around in hope to use a good ally in any future conflicts and with the unlimited funds coming in from the corrupt puppets nearby they have the dillusional idea that this may just work, too bad they are not learning anything from Syria and how their thugs are getting bashed there and causing thousands of innocent people to be killed along the way.

No to Salafis, No to Hezb, No to KSA and NO to Iran. No to Ummmah Khilafa and NO to Welayat Faqih. Yes to Lebanon, Yes to moderation, Yes to Co-existence, Yes to secular thoughts and sovereign minded patriots, and Yes to the amry.

Great..... I am with the army's demand to hand over any suspect. I urge the army to equally take the same stand and ask hizb of terror to hand over their so-called murderous saints and to show it deals fairly with all pending issues. By the way, did the army arrest any of the thugs who committed murder on May 7?

The army should give them 24 hours to hand over all these thugs or else Nahr el Bared No.2 will start!!!

Once Ain el Hilwed is cleaned up then move on to the other hell-hole camps.

It is about time....the sooner the better....

Ask the palestinians to hand over the network then immediately begin to discuss the removal of all their weapons all together. Give them a max of 3 weeks deadline and civilians too if they do not want , bomb the camp.

Skyfall, I agree with most of your comment. But to bomb a camp where most that remain would still be brainwashed innocent civilians is wrong. The reasoning and dead line would most proberbly not reach most of the civilians.

@ Ado.australia, im sorry for them, but brainwashed or not, their command should tell them the truth or the army should tell them whats happening. If they do not want to collaborate and understand they must give up their weapons, then they will be dealt with as partners in crime. Im sorry Ado, but no one gave a shit about Lebanon when it was bombarded by the syrians, and intimidated by the palestinians, and bombarded again by the israelis. Our land is not for camps of so-called resistance , neither a battlefield for Pro-zionists or Pro-iranians. We should care about the syrian refugees and the palestinians ones, when nobody cared about us before. Yes they are welcome to yes, but no , they arent welcome with weapons. Innocent civilians should be informed, if they want to stay, so be it, if not better. But the weapons in camps must go...

@ Ado.australia, this is our land, our country, our state, we had enough problems historically on our own, now we must bare the palestinians and syrians? let the rich states like Saudi Arabia, Iran , Qatar, welcome them , they have the money, and they have looooots of place. Lebanon is NOT and will NOT be a toy again. Whoever of these non-lebanese are not happy to give up their weapons, will be dealt as fugitives and violators of the law. There is no middleground, and there is no dialogue on that anymore, there is no compromise on our independance and our institutions. Lebanon first, and forever
