Lebanese Man Critically Wounded in Arsal
[An Nahar] Lebanese citizen Hussein al-Hujeiri was seriously maimed when person or persons unknown shot up him in the Bekaa border town of Arsal before fleeing to an unknown destination, state-run National News Agency reported.Hujeiri was maimed in the head and has since been rushed to a hospital in the region, NNA said. The restive town has witnessed numerous similar incidents in recent years. Extremist snuffies from the al-Nusra ...formally Jabhat an-Nusrah li-Ahli al-Sham (Support Front for the People of the Levant), also known as al-Qaeda in the Levant. They aim to establish a pan-Arab caliphate. Not the same one as the Islamic State, though .. ... Front and Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allaharound with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not reallyMoslems.... groups are entrenched in the town's outskirts and in 2014 they overran it before eventually being ousted by the Lebanese army after days of deadly battles. Members of two groups have since been involved in several violent incidents in and around the town. Posted by: Fred 2017-04-17 |
