SANA Says Arsal 'Refuge for FSA Terrorists': Lebanese Cabinet's Cover Up a Crime
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
The Syrian national news agency said on Wednesday that the Bekaa town of Arsal has become a “refuge and a logistic base for the terrorists of the Free Syrian Army”.
“Many media reports have proved that Arsal is a producer of the terrorism targeting the Syrian people on a daily basis,” SANA said, adding that the Lebanese cabinet's “cover up is a crime against both countries”.
It explained: “The latest attack on the Lebanese army has exposed that terrorism is rooted in Arsal and that is has become a platform for operations”.
Army Captain Pierre Bachaalani and Sergeant Ibrahim Zahraman died earlier this month in the Bekaa town and several military personnel were wounded when a patrol was ambushed by gunmen as it was hunting a man wanted for several terrorist acts.
Arsal residents claimed that the soldiers were in civilian clothes and hadn't informed the town's authorities that they were planning to carry out a raid.
The Syrian news agency revealed that the Lebanese Red Cross transferred on Wednesday four FSA wounded fighters from Arsal to hospitals in the Bekaa and the North, explaining that they had arrived to town through illegal crossings.
It noted: “After several FSA members have been arrested, it has become obvious that terrorists reside in Lebanon”.
SANA urged the Lebanese cabinet to interfere and take decisive measures in this matter, expressing that “covering up for the terrorists is a crime that will be reflected negatively on Lebanon and Syria”.
The National News Agency had announced that FSA Mohammed Khaled al-Ahmed and Ahmed Mohammed Zakaria have been admitted to Dar al-Amal hospital in Baalbek while Hazem Fayad and Mohammed Ahmed al-Wow were transferred to another medical facility in the northern city of Tripoli for treatment.

the timing was well orchestrated:
- Syrian regime forces evacuated all border checkpoints
- hizbushaitan started an operation against the FSA
- they shot this guy from arsal with over 40 bullets
- on their way out, they noticed they were being followed
- they called on their buddies in the army for help
- 5 members of hizbushaitan were killed.
- when they arrived they fell into an ambush.

whatever happened those who killed the soldiers should be tried.
but that does not dismiss the fact that hizbushaitan is at the root of what happened, as well as the army command for stupidly getting involved to help hizbushaitan.

mowaten, Geha is condemning the butchers against our soldier as much as you are. He is however stating facts (yet to be proven by the investigations underway). In such a dramatic event we need to be wise and call for calm in order to find the truth and take to justice the criminals.
