| [AnNahar] The army announced Sunday the arrest of a Lebanese man and a Syrian woman over two separate attempts to smuggle fuel and an electronic device to Lion of Islam gunnies positioned in the outskirts of the northeastern border town of Arsal. "Lebanese citizen Karim Abdul Hamid Ezzeddine was placed in durance vile Keep yer hands where we can see 'em, if yez please! today at the Wadi Hmeid checkpoint in Arsal for driving a Mercedes truck without legal documents and trying to smuggle a quantity of gasoline in it to the gunnies who are present in the outskirts," the army said in a statement. Separately, troops at the same checkpoint arrested Syrian national Moumena Khaled al-Abed on Sunday for attempting to smuggle two Wi-Fi Internet routers to the gangs. The woman has confessed that her brother is a member of the jihadist 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, the army said. Ever since the Syrian revolt erupted in March 2011, Arsal has served as a key conduit for refugees, gunnies and maimed people fleeing the strife-torn country. Jihadists from 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 the Islamic State are entrenched in the town's outskirts. In August 2014, they stormed the town and engaged in bloody battles with the Lebanese army following the arrest of a senior IS bad boy. The jihadists withdrew after a ceasefire, but took with them several dozen hostages from the army and police four of whom have since been executed. |
