Rifi Hails Intelligence Branch for Averting Terrorist Plot Targeting Country

إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية W460

Internal Security Forces chief Maj. Gen. Ashraf Rifi praised the intelligence branch for exposing the terrorist plot that was targeting the country, describing it as its “masterpiece.”

“The efforts exerted (by the intelligence branch) exposed a terrorist plot aiming at carrying out assassination in the north,” Rifi said in a statement.

The statement noted that during “a short period of time the key player was revealed based on concrete evidence and the suspect was detained and referred to the judiciary, which thwarted the terrorist plot and maintained the civil peace and averted the risk of slipping into a civil and a sectarian strife.”

On Thursday, the ISF intelligence branch detained ex-minister Michel Samaha on suspicion of being involved in a plot to carry out bomb attacks in Lebanon on behalf of the Syrian regime.

Kudos to the ISF :)
now that the security forces and the judiciary have done what they should, it is the turn of the political to do what is required:
- place a complaint with the UN.
- file a lawsuit with the international tribunal.
- kick the syrian ambassador out with all the syrian embassy staff.
- sever ties with the syrian regime.
- declare any internal political party affiliated to the syrian regime as an outlaw party, and conduct thorough investigations in these parties activities.
if we are a country that has a shred of decency, the above needs to happen.

Thanks pestcontrol..... after watching the video, given his strong ties to Assaad, I could not help but wonder how much did he know about the assassination of Harriri and other M14 figures. I think they should send him to be investigatd by the STL.

Lebanon's government has decided it's better to make it clear that they are parting from Syria. Finally, 60, 70 years later, it is happening. The Assad regime is going up in flames, hopefully more traitors such as Samaha are arrested and exposed. It is the beginning of the end for these traitors as well as the Assad regime.
