Geagea Questions Talk of 4 Suspects When Hundreds of Armed Individuals Took to the Streets
2010-08-29
[An Nahar] Lebanese Forces leader Samir Geagea wondered on Saturday why such a debate is being made over four suspects arrested in the Borj Abi Haidar clashes when "hundreds of known armed individuals took to the streets, three people were killed, several were injured, and great material losses were incurred."

He questioned the purpose of the armed group of that size's presence in the heart of Beirut, adding: "We didn't hear of the confiscation of any weapon even though hundreds of individuals were on the scene."

"It could have been an individual incident, but how do we explain how, in less than an hour, organized armed groups deployed on the streets in full combat mode," Geagea added.
