Army Foils Armed Group Bid to Infiltrate Lebanon from Syria via al-Qaa
[An Nahar] The Lebanese Army on Thursday clashed with gunnies who were trying to infiltrate Leb from Syria through the Masharii al-Qaa border area."At 5:30 p.m., the Lebanese Army thwarted at attempt by an gang to infiltrate Leb from Syrian territory," Leb's National News Agency reported. The gunnies were attempting to enter the country through the al-Naamat barren mountains and the illegal border crossings in Masharii al-Qaa, NNA said. The army shot up the gunnies and prevented them from crossing the border, the agency added. Meanwhile, ...back at the wrecked scow, Agent 49 felt gingerly for his head. It was still there. He had been hoping differently... Voice of Leb radio (93.3) described the group as "extremist," without elaborating on whether it has links to a certain organization. The festivities did not cause any casualties, according to the radio network. For its part, al-Mayadeen television said "the army has deployed in some points in Masharii al-Qaa after detecting movements by gangs in the Eastern Mountain Range." Posted by: Fred 2014-01-24 |
