Al-Nusra Front, ISIL Haven't Decided Yet to Move Syria's Conflict to Lebanon
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
The al-Qaida-affiliated Al-Nusra Front in Syria and the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant haven't taken a decision to “officially enter Lebanon,” as the two groups are still dealing with agents for them to “send messages to Hizbullah.”
“Both groups have the necessary logistic capabilities to carry out attack in Lebanon similar to those in Iraq but there's no decision yet to move the conflict to Lebanon,” a leader in al-Nusra Front said in comments published in al-Akhbar newspaper.
However, the leader said that the decision might “be changed in the upcoming days in light of the developments in Syria's Qalamoun.”
The Syrian army and Hizbullah fighters have expelled rebels from several strategic towns in Qalamoun, but Yabrud -- the largest in the region -- has so far remained an opposition stronghold.
“ISIL and the al-Nusra Front still haven't appointed an Emir in Lebanon to run the Lebanese front.”
The leader told al-Akhbar daily that the two groups are tasking agents for them in Lebanon, similar to Naim Abbas, a top of the Qaida-linked Abdullah Azzam Brigades, who was arrested by the army in February.
The leader stressed that the Abdullah Azzam Brigades is the only active group in Lebanon, pointing out that the bombings carried out by it inflicted heavy damage and caused a high number of casualties.
“Those who were arrested by Lebanese security forces are only implementers and not planners.”
“The bombings that have so far occurred are merely messages to Hizbullah over its involvement in the war in Syria,” al-Nusra Front leader said, noting that the explosions are targeting civilians “to push the party's withdrawal” from the neighboring country.
Lebanon witnessed a string of of bomb attacks in recent months targeting mainly strongholds of Hizbullah, which has drawn the ire of Sunni extremist groups in part because of its role fighting alongside the regime in Syria.
“The Jihadist leadership is convinced that the fall of the Syrian regime will lead to the fall of Hizbullah,” the leader added.
Hizbullah has dispatched fighters to battle alongside the Syrian regime against rebels seeking the overthrow of President Bashar Assad.
The conflict, pitting a Sunni-dominated rebel movement against Assad, whose Alawite faith is an offshoot of Shiite Islam, has raised sectarian tensions in Lebanon.

loooool pathetic cedre, your source quotes from volumes of "Tahrirolvasyleh" that dont exist :)
you try so hard to appear virtuous, denouncing "evil" and all, spending day after day here "crusading" for the good of humanity, pointing your finger at the "heretics" and kufars.. a true role model of virtuousness! until we scratch a bit under the surface, and realize you're just full of lies and fabrications! can't tell you my disappointment, i had so much faith and hopes in you!
(in case you want to deny this, then here's the book your skanky source claims to be quoting from, i challenge you to find the said quotes)

I remember well that they said a few weeks ago that they officially decided to enter Lebanon.
Seems the army managed to dismantel their terrorist network (thumbs up for the army), and this is their excuse for not being to bomb dahiyeh / hermel the last days.
but unfortunately, i m pretty sure that they will try to come back as soon as posible.

I thought they were in syria to liberate it. What would they do in lebanon which is (up to a point) a democracy?
Also this report does not have credibility because daesh and nosra dont work together. They are at odds.

lol the hypocrite logging in under another alias to defend himself.
unlike you hyopcrites who post hateful sectarian comments and then deny it like sneaky slimy scum, i have no problem saying i'm anti-takfiri.
however, and i'm very sorry sorry to disappoint you, but takfirism is not a sect. it's a sick ideology and they only deserve to be treated like they treat others.

It's one thing for Hezbollah to be involved in the Syrian war, but it's a very different thing if the Takfiris were to try their luck in Lebanon, here in Lebanon, they'll get their driest shave ever. Syrians are Syrians for all I care, but we Lebanese are known to have a head we call TANKEH. It will shock them what we are capable of doing, even before thinking. Yalla, let them come.

They must be waiting until they beat the "ASSad" regime AGAIN as gabby14 keeps confirming its fall almost every Wednesday since gabbaguybo received the revelation almost at the same time as Dr. Arreet 7akeh did.

Geha, this might be your opportunity, step right up.
