A Christian political party founded by Bashir Gemayel, who was then bumped off when he was elected president of Leb...
on Friday announced that a suspicious aircraft had resumed its flights over the residence of LF leader Samir Geagea
... Geagea was imprisoned by the Syrians and their puppets for 11 years in a dungeon in the third basement level of the Lebanese Ministry of Defense. He was released after the Cedar Revolution in 2005 ...
and the LF's headquarters in the Kesrouan town of Maarab.

The LF's media department said the "unidentified aircraft" has been hovering over the area since several days and that its most recent overflight took place "at 4:00 a.m." Friday.

In a statement, the media dept. said the aircraft "has been flying at low altitude, and in addition to its usual sound, the members of the guard platoon have seen the white aircraft with their naked eyes."

The LF noted that the white color of the alleged flying object indicates that it is "most likely an unmanned aerial vehicle."

"The Army Command was immediately informed of this issue and it promised to follow it up closely," the LF added.

In an interview with Future TV on Jan. 22, Geagea said the drone in question "could be for surveillance purposes," noting that he "cannot accuse anyone before confirming all the details."
