Rifi Hails Intelligence Branch for Averting Terrorist Plot Targeting Country
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
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.

It will be interesting to see how Aoun will react now and his position towards the Syrian regime. He always maintained now that Syria is out of lebanon as an excuse to convince his herds. Is Syria out of Lebanon mon general?????? Will Hizb of terror still defend the Syrian regime????

Here are some excerpts from the news article carried by al arabiya
وبحسب الرواية الأمنية دائما، تمت مواجهة النائب ميشال سماحة في مقر التوقيف بالوقائع والأدلة، وبالأفلام المصورة عن العبوات الناسفة، ومبلغ الـ170 ألف دولار، وكيف نقل العبوات شخصياً بسيارته، فطلب بعد مضي نحو نصف ساعة لقاء العميد الحسن، الذي حضر فوراً وأبلغه أن «الملف موثق»، فقال سماحة: «سأكون واضحاً معك، أعترف أنني ارتكبت غلطة كبيرة، وأشكر ربي أنكم كشفتم القضية قبل أن تحصل التفجيرات لكي لا أحمل وزر الدم والضحايا التي ستسقط، أعود وأقول شكراً جزيلا انكم كشفتم العملية قبل إتمامها، على الأقل أنا الآن لا أحمل وزر دم أبرياء كان يمكن أن يسقطوا».

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.
