إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
The Abdullah Azzam Brigades denied on Saturday that it has any links to the takfiri network in the Ain el-Hilweh Palestinian refugee camp, reported the daily An Nahar on Sunday.
It denied all links to the network in a statement that was published on various websites.
It revealed however that it had received an offer by undisclosed sides to “assassinate Druze leader MP Walid Jumblat in return for the release of a number of jihadists in Syrian jails.”
No further details were offered.
The army intelligence bureau in the South demanded the Palestinian factions and the Islamic parties in Ain el-Hilweh Palestinian refugee camp to detain Abu Mohammed Toufiq Taha and hand him over to the Lebanese judiciary, As Safir newspaper reported on Friday.
Abu Mohammed is the head of the Abdullah Azzam Brigades, who is accused of planning attacks against the Lebanese army.
He resides in the Ain el-Hilweh Palestinian refugee camp near the southern city of Sidon but his whereabouts are unknown.
The Lebanese army had discovered a “takfiri” network in which two soldiers, allegedly involved in the cell, had planned to carry out attacks against the army.
The army detained a group that consists of six people, who are affiliated with the Abdullah Azzam Brigades – al-Qaida network, as the army is seeking to arrest the head of the network.
On Friday, the army intelligence succeeded in arresting Mohammed Fayyad Ismail, the chief of the gang that had abducted a manager of the dairy company Liban Lait in the Bekaa town of Britel on November 30, which was also behind several other kidnappings.
“Army intelligence agents arrested Ismail and some members of his gang in the Bekaa town of al-Qasr,” MTV reported.
The gang is based in the Hermel District town of al-Qasr and was responsible for the abduction of a Syrian businessman in the Bekaa town of Barelias in August 2011.
Ismail and his gang have also been found to be responsible for the attack against the army on April 13, 2009.
The attack left four soldiers dead and a fifth severely wounded.
Liban Lait manager Ahmed Zeidan was abducted on November 30, 2011 as he entered the company’s headquarters in the Baalbek District town of Hawsh Sneid.
The kidnappers demanded a ransom back then, but the army managed in December to rescue Zeidan in a raid on Britel’s barren mountains.

Sounds and smells like a similar deal that resulted in the nahr elbared war (same plot.... release Jihadists in Syrian jails to cause trouble in Lebanon). The Syrian regime is a master of such deals.

Shab, the only pals in lebanon who are from gaza r the ghazzaoui family and a few others, all of them have lebanese passports and do not live in the camps. The Pals in the camps r from the galilee area of palestine. Clearing would not solve the problem as the jihadis would only pop up elsewhere. There r even villages which r majority supporters of jihadis. The problem with jihadis is not pals, its certain governments and political groups who arm them for their own purposes. Jund el shem as an example which is based in ain el helwi, is a jihadi group with mostly lebanese jihadis in it, where should we put them and other lebanese jihadis who are the majority in such jihadi groups? Its easy to drop such an irresponsible comment online but in real life, your little advice makes no sence at all. You arent the one suffering from these jihadis, its the lebanese soldiers and the Palestinian refugees who r. So if u dont have something logical to say, at least have the decency to be quiet.

Yes which is why the Palestinians should have never been allowed to become armed groups in Lebanon and especially outside the camps. When was the last time a Palestinian group in Lebanon did anything to try and gain Palestinian independence?

“assassinate Druze leader MP Walid Jumblat in return for the release of a number of jihadists in Syrian jails.”
I wonder who this could be? Maybe the Assad regime or their supporters in Lebanon? Syria has used 'Jihadis' to cause chaos in Lebanon for decades.
@Samira: You are right that there are Lebanese Jihadists but they are almost always headquartered in the camps (Nahr Al Bared before and Ain Al Helweh still) because the Lebanese military can not reach them there. The camps have become safe havens for terrorists who have nothing to do with the liberation of Palestine.
The 'mainstream' Palestinian groups don't have the will to get rid of these groups despite the fact that they are small and lets them grow and expand so it should be allowed that the Lebanese army enter the camps and hunt them down.
Lebanon has paid the price for 'Palestinian independence' for 50 years and it's enough.
