bloc praised on Thursday the army's "great security achievement" in arresting runaway Naim Abbas, adding that this proves that autonomous security and illegal weapons "do not protect the Lebanese."

"What happened yesterday also proves that autonomous security, security zones and illegal weapons cannot protect the country or the Lebanese."
