| 2013-04-03 |
| [An Nahar] The Military Appeals Court ordered on Tuesday the release on bail of a man suspected of involvement in a deadly attack on the army in the northeastern town of Arsal, the state-run National News Agency reported. The court's presiding judge, Alice Shabtini, ordered the release of Naufal al-Hujairi on a LL1 million bail, NNA said. Her ruling came despite a request by Military Examining Magistrate Fadi Sawan to uphold the decision to keep him in jug. The news agency said that four other suspects have requested Sawan to order their release. Two Lebanese soldiers were killed in February when members of an gang ambushed their patrol that was in the area to pursue a suspect wanted on terrorism charges. |
