Former cop found guilty of giving sensitive security information to Jewish state during 2006 Leb WarJudicial officials say a Lebanese military court has convicted a former policeman of spying for Israel and sentenced him to death. More than 100 people in Leb have been placed in long-term storage since 2009 on suspicion of collaborating with the Jewish state. A military court on Friday found Haitham al-Sahmarani guilty of giving sensitive security information to Israeli intelligence agents including during a monthlong 2006 war between Israel and the Death Eater Hezbullies group. The officials said al-Sahmarani's sister and her husband who are believed to be in Israel were also sentenced to death in absentia on similar charges. They spoke on condition of anonymity in line with regulations. Al-Sahmarani is a former chief sergeant. He was placed in long-term storage in 2009. Posted by: trailing wife 2012-02-18 |
