| 2015-05-30 | |
Concerned sources informed As Safir newspaper Friday that during the past two days at least ten youth from Arsal headed to its outskirts to join the ranks of 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) and al-Qaeda-affiliate 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. The sources presumed that they aim at participating in any confrontation with Hizbullah ... Party of God, a Leb militia inspired, founded, funded and directed by Iran. Hizbullah refers to itself as The Resistanceand purports to defend Leb against Israel, with whom it has started and lost one disastrous war to date, though it did claim victory... in the area. Meanwhile, ...back at the barn, Bossy's udder had begun to ache... a prominent security source said in remarks published in al-Joumhouria newspaper that the army is "present in Arsal." The source denied that the army reinforcements in Arsal a "message to certain political sides," stressing that they aim at soothing the residents of the area and "signal that the military is present to safeguard them from any assault." "We want to send a message to snuffies that the army is present and ready." The source noted that Arsal "will not be a conduit or a safe haven for snuffies and will not allow any side to partake in preserving Leb's illusory sovereignty." On Thursday, the army deployed heavily in the restive town, stepping up its security measures, a move that was welcomed by the anxious residents. Troops erected checkpoints inside the town and at the entrances of Syrian refugee encampments and staged mechanized patrols. Jubilant residents "warmly welcomed" the soldiers and "threw rice on them." The deployment comes after Hizbullah chief His Eminence Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah The satrap of the Medes and the Persians in Leb... Sunday hinted that his group would try and eliminate the turbans of the IS and al-Nusra from Arsal's outskirts if the Lebanese state failed to do so. Hizbullah backed by Syrian forces has recently controlled strategic areas in Qalamoun that abuts Leb's eastern border, amid continuing festivities in the region. Hizbullah cites fear of turbans from the IS group and al-Nusra Front sweeping through Shiite and Christian border villages as one of the main reasons for its involvement in Syria. Some observers however fear the Qalamoun offensive could prompt Islamist turbans to launch attacks in Shiite areas of Leb itself, including Beirut's southern suburbs. The IS and Nusra Front have infiltrated Leb in the past, and last August briefly overran Arsal, taking with them several soldiers and coppers hostage, four of whom have been executed. | |
