Saqr Orders Arrest of 6 Suspects over Israel and Yarze Rocket Attacks

إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية W460

State Commissioner to the Military Court Judge Saqr Saqr ordered on Friday the arrest of 6 suspects, including Syrians, over separate rocket attacks on Israel and the town of Yarze, near Beirut.

Saqr arrested two men for firing rockets on northern Israel from southern Lebanon last Thursday.

The attack prompted Israeli warplanes the next day to strike a Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine-General Command (PFLP-GC) base in a valley in Naameh that lies 16 kilometers south of Beirut. The strike did not cause any casualties or material damage.

The PFLP-GC denied it was involved in the rocket attack.

Also Friday, the judge ordered the arrest of four Syrians from the so-called Ballouneh cell that was involved in a failed rocket attack on Yarze in June.

The rocket was fired in the early hours of June 21.

Reports had said that they intended to target the Defense Ministry in Yarze. But one rocket hit a high-voltage power line in a nearby town and a second rocket failed to launch.

The launchpads were found in the Kesrouan town of Ballouneh.

Southern, HA terrorists are involved in fighting in syria. Why do you have double standards?

Yes they are terrorists by the same definition that you refer to others as terrorists. They are also occupiers of lebanon.

I can't help but to put this again and again,,, For those who have seen this before, sorry for the repetition..
This is what Bachir Gemayel said about Syria almost 30 years ago... Bachir was so right and saw things differently. He is the greatest leader of all. Bachir lives in us.

I've watched it some 30 times now. Love his stuff, very patriotic indeed.

southern- have you checked the EU terrorist/black list?

Thumb LEBhasNOhope 30 August 2013, 18:59

Thanks FT- since it is not credible then why were they and their allies including mr always right and it's always someone else's fault so upset with it?
BTW- good point on the taliban though.

Southern- the EU is not my enemy. As a matter of fact, they are the furthest thing from an enemy. My enemy are the people that hijack my country and prevent it from being a strong, independent state. My enemies are the people who continue to kill and torture my friends, family, and fellow countrymen. My enemy are the people who assist in the continued massacre of my beautiful country. My enemies are the ones that aid foreigners in conducting terrorist acts in my country. I can go on for a very long time but I believe you got my drift.

We bring armed Palestinians on our soil across the boarder from their arch enemies, and our government says we have no jurisdiction inside their camps. Wallah helue. So, you've done a favor to Israel or deliberately painted a bull's eye on your forehead for positioning armed Palestinians across the Lebanese/Israeli boarder? Which other country has lifted a finger for the Palestinians? The Iranians? If so, where is it? If Lebanon has the military power and funds to bitch slap any of our neighbors around, let us know. We'll run or help run the campaign.

Has the Taliban ever committed terrorist acts against foreigners outside Afghanistan? Don't get me wrong, I think if aliens from outer space came to Earth and landed amid the Taliban, they might fuel one-way gas tank back to outer space.

If A is similar to B and B similar to C, therefor A is similar to C; the relation of "similar" is not transitive/is intransitive; a common fallacy/Analogic syllogism/dishonest use of the transitive law.

This is a favorite method in the "informal reasoning" used by lawyers.

You lebanese are amazing! I cant think of another "country" beside the former yugoslavia where everyone hats everyone else the way you people do. Every group of three people is a different religous, national, ethnic , or subordinate faction of such. You will never be a nation because you clearly do not have any identification with lebanon as a national entity. Lebanon to you, is simply a geographical area. Not one of you would fight for the same lebanon. You will only fight eachother.

Keep believing your media then, you seem to have quite a predilection in believing we hate each other and never intend to live together.
