| Report: Supporters of IS Emir in Ain el-Hilweh Shift Allegiance to Nusra | |
| 2016-09-25 | |
...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.... Emir in Ein el-Hellhole, Imad Yassine, have shifted their allegiance to the Nusra Front, which rebranded itself as Jabhat Fateh al-Sham ...formerly al-Nusra, the current false nose and mustache of al-Qaeda in the Levant... in July when it split from the al-Qaeda movement, As Safir daily reported on Saturday. Following Yassines' arrest, groups affiliated to the detainee abandoned their homes and a state of "collapse" spread among the ranks of those who supported the Islamic State and Yassine, security sources said. Military sources likened the scene to a similar situation that took place in the northeastern border town of Arsal when the Lebanese army fatigued the IS snuffies in the area with heavy shelling, air and land operations that compelled the snuffies to change allegiance to Nusra. The same thing is happening today in Ein el-Hellhole, they said. The army intelligence enjugged Maw! They're comin' to get me, Maw! Yassine on Thursday following close surveillance and followup in Ein el-Hellhole's al-Tawari neighborhood. Yassine, who is wanted on multiple arrest warrants, had been plotting prior to his arrest to stage several terrorist bombings against army posts, vital and touristic facilities, shopping centers, popular gatherings and residential areas in several Lebanese regions. He was tasked with his missions by terrorist organizations based outside the country. It was reported in July that Yassine had received orders from IS foreign operations chief Abu Khaled al-Iraqi to stage major "Iraq-like bombings" across Leb. By long-standing convention, the army does not enter the twelve Paleostinian refugee camps in Leb, leaving the Paleostinian factions themselves to handle security. That has created lawless areas in many camps, and Ein el-Hellhole has gained notoriety as a refuge for Lions of Islam and runaways. But the camp is also home to more than 54,000 registered Paleostinian refugees who have been joined in recent years by thousands of Paleostinians fleeing the fighting in Syria. More than 450,000 Paleostinians are registered in Leb with the U.N. agency for Paleostinian refugees UNRWA. Most live in squalid conditions in 12 official refugee camps and face a variety of legal restrictions, including on their employment. | |
