| [AnNahar] Army Commander General Jean Qahwaji stressed on Tuesday that the military foiled a plot by terrorist groups to divide Leb and change its features, thwarting a Sunni-Shiite strife that "could have burned the country." "The army achieved a huge accomplishment," As Safir newspaper quoted Qahwaji as saying. He pointed out that the situation in Leb has changed from the one that prevailed before the festivities that occurred in the northeastern border town of Arsal in August. Jihadists from the Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allaharound with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not reallyMoslems.... group and al-Qaeda-linked al-Nusra ...the current nom de guerre of al-Qaeda in the Levant, which isn't to be confused with al-Qaeda in Iraq and the Levant... Front briefly overran the town of Arsal in August. The Islamists withdrew from the town, abducting with them a number of troops and security forces. Three hostages have already been killed by their captors, and the country has been on edge for months over the fate of the remaining soldiers and coppers. Leb is deeply divided over the war in Syria. Qahwaji revealed that the army has the full "political cover." "The army is united and fortified against any emergency," the army commander pointed out, considering that the last round of festivities in the northern port 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... busted all the terrorist cells and "turned the scales." The high-ranking military official considered the arrest of turbans Imad Jomaa and Ahmed Miqati a key issue in thwarting a plot to ignite a Sunni-Shiite strife in Leb. Miqati was jugged Yez got nuttin' on me, coppers! Nuttin'! in October in the northern town of Assoun during a deadly army raid on an apartment that he and several murderous Moslems had been residing in. He was later charged with belonging to an armed terrorist organization with the aim of occupying several northern villages. His arrest set off the spark that led to a deadly fighting last month between holy warriors and the army in Tripoli and surrounding areas. A battle between Lebanese troops and murderous Moslems in northern Leb was widely expected after members of the Islamic State group and al-Qaeda's branch in Syria, al-Nusra ...formally Jabhat an-Nusrah li-Ahli sh-Sham (Support Front for the People of the Levant), also known as al-Qaeda in the Levant. They aim to establish a pan-Arab caliphate. Not the same one as the Islamic State, though .. ... Front, launched several attacks in areas on the border with Syria. |
