Ibrahim Brushes Off Concerns About U.S. Sanctions against Him
General Security chief Maj. Gen. Abbas Ibrahim brushed off concerns on Saturday about his inclusion in a US list of sanctions saying “it is not a concern for me.”
“I read in US newspapers about the sanctions that could affect me. In my opinion, I will do anything that falls in the interest of the Lebanese. The news being circulated is not of interest to me, nor was I surprised by the issue of sanctions imposed on me,” said Abbas in a telephone intervention on LBCI TV morning talk show, Naharkum Saeed.
Lebanese daily Al-Akhbar reported Saturday that the U.S. Congress could impose sanctions on him, under a new bill being considered.
Ibrahim added that during his official visit to Washington last month, the file about Hizbullah was not discussed.
“What I do, mainly my visit to Washington falls in Lebanon’s interest. I fear nothing in the world and my conscience is clear. No one can stop me from what I do because it falls in Lebanon’s interest,” added Ibrahim.
The U.S. has imposed sanctions in recent months on Lebanese politicians including allies of Hizbullah group. Washington has listed Hizbullah as a terrorist organization since 1997 and sees the group as a proxy for its archenemy Iran in the region.

"I fear nothing in the world and my conscience is clear. No one can stop me from what I do because it falls in Lebanon’s interest,” added Ibrahim.
Did you ever arrest the kidnappers of the Turkish pilots and crew?
Did you ever stop a hezbollah terrorist from crossing the border and going to fight in Syria and Iraq or prevented a hezbollah terrorist from boarding a plane and going to Yemen.
Did you ever arrest a drug dealer from the Bekaa or a car thief from Brital?
Did you ever confiscate the cash dollars that come in suitcases from Tehran and destined for hezbollah?
Did you ever arrest the two thugs that blew up BLOM Bank and were seen on CCTV?
Did you.... Did you.... Did you....!

He should be on the top of the list side by side with the heads of every security agency in Lebanon. He is an employee of Hezbollah in every meaning of the word. He went to Washington a few weeks ago offering his services and his influence with the Syrian regime to free some American hostages thinking this would earn him some brownie points and polish his tarnished image. I hope the Americans don't fall for his tactics.
He has a multi-million dollar mansion in his village in the South and I am sure he did not build it from savings on his salary as a government employee.
