Army Confiscates Truck Loaded with Arms Headed to Syria
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
The army intelligence foiled an attempt by three men to smuggle weapons to Syria, the National News Agency reported on Monday.
Two Lebanese men and a Syrian national were detained after the army confiscated their pick-up truck in Beirut.
The truck was loaded with weapons and anti-missile shields.
State commissioner to the military court Judge Saqr Saqr charged the three men with trading arms and smuggling it to Syria.
Saqr referred the three men to the first Military Examining Magistrate.
The poorly-demarcated Syrian-Lebanese border has witnessed a number of violations since the revolt against Syrian President Bashar Assad began in mid-March 2011.

Amazing army....it's just a "Unidirectional" army..so efficient one way, but not the other way :-)...for 35 years, we had hoped the army confiscates one single shipment "from" Syria...what a disapointment!!

armies are usually undirectional dear eli. they dont shoot at themselves and their allies.
if know you wish that the lebanese army would split and shoot in "all directions", but for time being, hezbollah and the army, and the people are all aiming in one direction :)

so it is legal for the resistance in lebanon to sneak weapons in and to trade in weapons across our borders, but the resistance in syria is forbidden from obtaining weapons? what kind of logic is this?

if i was representing such individuals, i would get them off easily. they are not taking the arms to syria. rather and since they were caught in beirut, these weapons are are for hizbullah.
on a side note, we keep hearing of all these people getting busted, but never hear their real names or their confessions, how come? let us see that there were really smuggling weapons and let us find out who sent them

i guess if those hezb supporters were logic with themselves they should tolerate arm smuggling to other lebanese parties who would claim theselves resistant too...
they should tolerate that any political parties could get as armed as hezbollah as it is allowed for them it appears!!
thus it is clear that those hezbi supporters are not for a strong and sovereign state as their logic accept sparties to get armed more than the army itself... (if tolerated for ONE party it is then tolerated for all!)
therefore they deny the army and police the right to be the only ones with arms...
of course they will come with the lame excuse that every parties are already armed to the teeth but i don t think as heavily armed as hezbollah! we have seen what arms they displayed in may 2008! only light ones...

Correction Mowaten
The Hizb, army and people are not aiming in the same direction.
While Army and People are aiming to defend Lebanon...The Hizb is aiming its weapons against its fellow Lebanese for self preservation purposes, and its goal is to serv only the Iranian & Assad's agenda.

One thing, Hez weapons are for potential use in case Israel invades Lebanon for a 4th time. Smuggling weapons to people who use them on soft targets, where black hoods and ambush people, snipe people and,for instance, kill Lebanese reporters in Lebanon and blame it on the Syrian Army, that is to say, Terrorists, is not a valid comparison in terms of logic or causation to Hezbollah attaining weapons to face an imminent threat. Its comparing peaches to oranges. These smugglers are making Saudi money and they do not care who gets killed. No better than drug dealers. It is a cash business ,these men are not heroes.

Let them go, they were simply returning some of the weapons smuggled into Lebanon by the fake resistance
