| 2014-12-20 |
| [AnNahar] The army intelligence has detained a prominent leader at 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.... of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL), who was allegedly planning to carry out terrorist acts in Leb. A military source told al-Joumhouria newspaper published on Friday, that the arrest was carried out two days ago, without revealing any further details. The source, who wished to remain anonymous, described the arrest as ?important,? considering it a blow to the terrorist organizations. The source pointed out that the detention comes in light of the heavy security measures taken by security forces to safeguard situation in the country, noting that it could play a role in the release of the kidnapped servicemen, who are held hostage by ISIL and the al-Qaeda-affiliate 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. The security force members were captured when the jihadists briefly overran the northeastern border town of Arsal in August, sparking fierce battles with Lebanese troops. Four have been executed so far, and the jihadists have threatened to kill the remaining hostages unless there is a deal to free Islamist prisoners in Leb. |
