7 Tripoli Fighting Suspects to be Referred to Military Tribunal

إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية W460

Seven people arrested by the Lebanese army in the northern city of Tripoli are expected to be referred to the Military Tribunal for legal measures if there was evidence of their involvement in the latest gunbattles, the National News Agency reported Thursday.

NNA said the men could be referred to the tribunal in the next 24 hours.

Eleven others were recently released for not having ties to the clashes between the rival neighborhoods of Bab al-Tabbaneh and Jabal Mohsen, the agency said.

But according to al-Mustaqbal daily, the 11 men, who are from al-Mouri family, were on Sunday seized along with two truckloads of weapons and ammunition in al-Zahriyeh neighborhood.

An Army communiqué had said that it arrested 18 people and seized quantities of arms, ammunition and military hardware after a patrol came under fire in al-Zahriyeh.

Al-Mustaqbal quoted sources as wondering how the 11 men could be released after two truckloads of weapons were seized from them.

“Their release would have blown up the security situation in Tripoli, particularly after they sought upon their release to ignite tension in the area,” they said.

Life slowly returned to normal in Tripoli on Monday after six days of gunbattles between the majority Sunni Bab al-Tabbaneh and the mainly Alawite Jabal Mohsen left scores of casualties.

The fighting was a clear sign that the Syrian war had spilled over to Lebanon. Bab al-Tabbaneh residents support the revolution against Syrian President Bashar Assad, who is from the Alawite sect.

We dont know that these thugs opened fire on the army. The article doesnt say that. The title is a sensation title designed to ignite indignation from the people. Come on Naharnet, we expect better journalistic professionalism.

by the way, i'm from tripoli,and those people are not saudi wahabi and stop saying this all time.
those people are from Hizb. they established an office form them between us, and no body wants them anyway.
read exactly the article
ونقلت "المستقبل" عن اوساط طرابلسية، استغرابها لاطلاق هؤلاء، متسائلة "لو اعتقل شخص يحمل مسدساً لوضع في السجن لمدة شهرين، فكيف الحال مع شاحنتين من الأسلحة والذخائر؟. وكيف يصار إلى إطلاق سراح هؤلاء بعد 48 ساعة على إعتقالهم؟"
where there release was not accepted at all.

I have no obsession with the Moqdead family dude ,what makes you so sure that 11 scum released are M14 .
Geha I have noticed that many times before @the moment Hezb Iran are free to do what they like ,just wait until their master the long neck clown Assad is gone then we can lock them up and throw the key..

"what makes you so sure that 11 scum released are M14 . "
The same way geha was sure that the released are from 'hizbushaitan' :)))
Why would Hezbollah shoot at the army, in tripoli? It makes much more sense that these people are paid for, and released by the Saudis, since whenever some attack on the army that happens, it's most of the times in Trobliss (Nahr Al Bared?) and we know who's in charge there: Mostaqbal and its militias. Sorry Geha and freedom1, no 'Hizbushaitan' in Troblisss! Go lie elsewhere.

no that is not correct: this scum is m8 related and it was all over the news.

Thumb geha 30 August 2012, 12:34

some people are here just to raise votes superficially and that shows their stupidity :)
some others are here to twist facts and try to hide the obvious :) as in the case of ahle3 :)
it has been all over the news that hizbushaitan people have been arrested several times and released in tripoli or its environment. it is well known and was said on tv talk shows with proofs that hizbushaitan was arming some factions in the north.
it was well known that the 11 scum described above are affiliated to hizbushaitan :) and comes ahle3 with his comment :)
what does it say about m8 who are unable to cover up their plots to destabilize the country by any means possible?

The majority of what's called M8 will disintegrate soon after their master Assad is gone, the rest will be under the foot of Iran and wilayet al faqih as traitors to our country.
