Nusra Front in Lebanon Accuses Shiite Members of Army of Taking Part in Fighting Syria
2014-03-10
[An Nahar] Al-Nusra Front in Leb stated on Sunday that the Lebanese army "has become a pawn in the hands of the Shiite project" in Leb.

It accused Shiite members of the army of taking part in the fighting in Syria, "defying any side to hold those who ordered them to go there accountable for their actions."

It made its accusation in a "clarification" on the "true role of the Lebanese army" published on its Twitter page.

It noted: "Since its formation, the army never once dared to confront the Israeli or Syrian armies that occupied Leb."

"The Lebanese army only dared to oppress the Sunnis under the excuse that it is the guarantee of the Lebanese people," it added.

"In reality, the army is only a guarantee for the Velayat-e faqih agenda," said the Nusra Front in Leb.

"Look at prisons in Leb. Don't you see that they are filled with Sunnis, held on baseless charges," it continued.

"Does anyone dare to arrest any Shiite that headed to fight in Syria?" it wondered.

Al-Nusra Front in Leb has grabbed credit for bombings that have targeted Hizbullah
...Party of God, a Leb militia inspired, founded, funded and directed by Iran. Hizbullah refers to itself as The Resistance and purports to defend Leb against Israel, with whom it has started and lost one disastrous war to date, though it did claim victory...
strongholds in the Bekaa region of Hermel.

It has also grabbed credit for rocket attacks fired against those areas.

Hizbullah has been taking part in the fighting alongside the Syrian regime forces against a rebel uprising.
