| [AnNahar] The Army Command announced on Saturday the deaths of three more soldiers from the festivities with gangs in the Tallat al-Hamra festivities in the outskirts of Ras Baalbek on Friday. A military statement on Friday said that five troops were killed in the unrest that erupted when murderous Moslems attacked an army surveillance post in Ras Baalbek. On Saturday, the army said that it was bolstering its deployment in the area where the fighting took place. It is continuing its pursuit of the remaining terrorists, who fled towards the higher altitudes of the outskirts. It also continued on shelling the routes the gunnies have been taking, as well as their vehicles and fortifications. Scores of gunnies have been killed and maimed in the festivities, added the army statement on Saturday. The army had held the funerals of several of its victims on Saturday. Military sources told LBCI TV that the army found a map shows the gunnies's objective from seizing Tallat al-Hamra was to encircle the Tallat Umm Khaled hill before moving to Ras Baalbek, but the army foiled their attempt. The state-run National News Agency stated that "the Civil Defense transferred the bodies of six murderous Moslems to Central Bekaa hospitals including the five bodies that were previously transferred to Hermel hospital". Meanwhile, ...back at the buffalo wallow, Standing Buffalo drew a bead on his old enemy and squeezed the trigger... Al-Jadeed TV reported that Hermel Hospital denied receiving any terrorist's dead body from those who died in Baalbek outskirts. |
