| [AnNahar] The Lebanese army destroyed on Saturday a vehicle transporting gunnies on the outskirts of the northeastern border town of Arsal, the state-run National News Agency reported. NNA said in the army's operation took place in Khirbet Daoud. The threat of jihadists, deployed on the porous Lebanese-Syrian border, rose a year ago when 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 and 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 fighters overran Arsal and engaged in heavy battles with the army. The gunnies took with them hostages from the military and police and later executed four of them. Since then, the jihadists are carrying out several infiltration attempts but troops, which are heavily deployed in the area, are confronting them. |
