| [An Nahar] New arrest warrants were issued on Monday against Arab Democratic Party leader Ali Eid, his son Rifaat and others over their involvement in the 18th round of fighting in the northern city of Tripoli ...a confusing city, one end of which is located in Lebanon and the other end of which is the capital of Libya. Its chief distinction is being mentioned in the Marine Hymn... "First military examining magistrate Judge Nabil Wehbe issued a third in absentia arrest warrant against the party's political relations official Rifaat Eid ...secretary general of the Leb Arab Democratic Party, a Pencilneck regime front organization... ," MTV reported. MTV added that another 53 warrants were also issued, among them one against Ali Eid and 12 against detainees involved in the same 18th round of fighting between the rival neighborhoods of Jabal Mohsen and Bab al-Tabbaneh last November. These warrants come as army troops and security forces continue the implementation of a security plan in the North and the Bekaa, which resulted in the arrest of dozens of runaways while many others are still on the lam, among them Ali and Rifaat Eid. This is the third arrest warrant against Rifaat Eid, whose father Ali is accused of helping runaways behind the double blast that targeted Tripoli mosques last August escape justice. According to Justice Minister Ashraf Rifi, Rifaat Eid had escaped to Orange County, Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party,, while Interior Minister Nouhad Mashnouq noted the party's chief Ali Eid left Leb to Syria. |
