Berri Confirms Terrorist Group Entered Lebanon to Carry Out Political Assassinations
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
Speaker Nabih Berri confirmed during Wednesday’s parliamentary meeting a list of politicians and figures targeted by extremist groups, describing the threat as serious and dangerous.
According to NBN, Berri called on security agencies to follow up the issue.
Local newspapers reported on Wednesday that international countries warned Lebanese officials that a terrorist group - linked to an extremist organization, has infiltrated the country recently to carry out “sabotage” operations.
According to As Safir newspaper, the information coincided with similar data obtained by Lebanese security agencies.
Speaker Nabih Berri and several other senior Lebanese officials might be the target of a security threat by the terrorist group.
Lebanese Forces leader Samir Geagea escaped an assassination attempt on April 4.
In January, security agencies urged Berri and Progressive Socialist Party leader MP Walid Jumblat to take precautions as they might be the target of an assassination plot.
On Tuesday, al-Joumhouria newspaper reported that the security agencies succeeded in the past few days in uncovering a terrorist network with local, Arab, and European links.
It said that the confessions of one of the detainees led to the arrest of Sunni Islamist Shadi al-Mawlawi, a development which sparked armed clashes in the northern city of Tripoli over the weekend.
The General Security detained in Tripoli last week Hamza Mahmoud Tarbey whose confessions led to al-Mawlawi’s arrest, according to the daily.
The six-member network includes three Lebanese individuals and a national from each of Qatar, Palestine, and Jordan.
Military Tribunal Judge Saqr Saqr had charged on Monday al-Mawlawi and the five other network members with forming an armed terrorist group and undermining the authority of the state, as well as having links to the al-Qaida.
He later issued an arrest warrant against al-Mawlawi.

kesrweneh: if they did then they made him a huge favor, this "failed" attempt was the single most important boost to geagea's popularity. when

haha you are funny mowaten , repented war criminal , the joke ... at least he is the only one who served a sentence and FYI his file was closed because they didnt find any evidence to all what they charged him with , and the only purpose of jailing him was to shut down the only party /militia call it like you want who had kept the anti-syrian power ... we saw how your demanted general defended the cause for which many lebanese soldiers died/dissapeared and he asked their mothers to turn the page and forget them ! you are morally bankrupt you sold the last ounce of dignitiy kept in that orange party , you ll live in shame because that "repented" war criminal like you call him had the chance to go out form prison under the syrian aegis and refused it and he is still on the same path as before not like your general "Ma3 l we2ef " for his own intressets !

"Saddam's invasion on kuwait USA supported syria's interest in Lebanon "
i didn't get a word from that sentence, can you re-phrase?
also it would be nice if you saved yourself some time and skipped the average 50% of your comments that are petty personal attacks and insults.
"ignorant.. blablal..pathetic...blabla..shut up idiot...blabla...kid...blabla"
they're pointless, and their only effect is that i get bored and lose the track of the point you were trying to say

Only 6 terrorists entering Lebanon? Lebanon has terrorists all over and many of them are in the form of political parties. Every armed person is a potential terrorist, disarm them all so we can deal effectively with the ones entering the country.

Ever noticed how Low the Lebanese have sunk
You have M8 supporters praising their 4 wanted criminal Hizbies as Holy-men.
You have M14 supporters describing their Terrorist criminal Mawlawi as Hero.
It is like they are saying "As long as criminal is on our side - keep away from him".
What's next, Looters/burglers/killers will be siding with M8/M14 camp, running loose against the other...and cheered by their own camp.
It is at this juncture that you know things will definitly go from bad to worse for Lebanon

Berri is one of the biggest terrorists. May the curse of God be upon him and his followers. Oh God, please humiliate them.

nothing new in what berry is saying! aoun said it a few years ago before he prostituted his dignity to the hezb!
he clearly said that the day syria would retreat from lebanon they would keep sending islamist groups to destabilize the country...the first group they sent were fateh el islam...
oh! and what about the sunni extremists trained by hezbollah....
M8 supporters forgot that already?....

If I give Berri the benefit of the doubt, it would be for one reason: March 8 politicians would be targets of this so-called terrorist within the country. It only makes it more obvious that the Lebanese government (read Hezbollah) is very eager at thwarting assassination attempts targeting March 8 leaders, but are very reluctant at doing so when the lives of March 14 politicians are involved. Stop the BS we all know who killed the martyrs that have gone since the beginning of this whole project.
