The Army Intelligence arrested him on multiple counts of "shooting, hurling hand grenades and taking part in acts that undermine security." Ziad Allouki was the so-called leader of the Souk al-Qameh fighting frontier in Tripoli's Bab al-Tabbaneh neighborhood. Up until turning himself in, he went into hiding following the army and security forces' implementation of a security plan in the city. In June 2013, the army raided an arms depot belonging to Ziad Allouki, which contained a quantity of explosives, local-made mortars, rifles, ammunition and other military equipment. The security plan has resulted in the arrest of dozens of gunnies and runaways in Tripoli and the eastern Bekaa region, but several desperados have managed to escape, while others remain on the lam. | |
