Lebanese army refuses to negotiate with Fatah al-Islam
After the Lebanese army evacuated their women and children, the Fatah al-Islam terrorists are now trying to evacuate their wounded fighters. Lebanon's bravest response: Surrender or die.The Lebanese army responded by demanding that all the terrorists surrender if they want any hope of staying alive, and then proceeded to bombard Fatah al-Islam positions in the Nahr al-Bared Palestinian refugee camp in northern Lebanon. Lebanese army gunship helicopters staged repeated air raids on Fatah al-Islam positions inside Nahr al-Bared where the army has besieged the extremist militants since May 20, he said. The army had warned it would intensify attacks after Friday's evacuation from the camp of the militants' wives and children, a total of 63 people. No Mercy for Terrorists Palestinian clerics are continuing to try to negotiate the evacuation of nine wounded Fatah al-Islam members from Nahr al-Bared. However the army is done playing games, and has insisted that the wounded would only be evacuated when the remaining fighters, thought to number about 70, surrender. The Lebanese Army and government demonstrated ample humanity by assisting in the evacuation of the wives and children of the fighters who brought their terror campaign to Lebanon. The evacuees with Syrian travel documents have reportedly already left for neighboring Syria over the weekend. Evacuees with Jordanian travel documents also headed to Jordan by land from Syria on Tuesday. Those with Lebanese documents have stayed with relatives or at other Palestinian refugee camps in the country. The wife of Fatah al-Islam leader Shaker al-Abssi was staying at an undisclosed location known to Lebanese security officials. Posted by: Fred 2007-08-30 |
