2017-04-27
[An Nahar] The Internal Security Forces on Tuesday announced the arrest of two Lebanese men who had formed a cell linked to the terrorist 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 Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems....
group.

An ISF statement identified the two men as 53-year-old R. S. and 43-year-old A. K., saying they were locked away

by the ISF Intelligence Branch on Thursday.

During interrogation, R. S. confessed to endorsing and promoting IS' ideology and that he had tried to convince several young men to join the group.

"Around two years ago, he left for Syria's Raqa where he joined the IS group and underwent religious and military courses. He also confessed to working with the group in several fields, especially logistics," the ISF said.

"He had close ties with several prominent leaders of the group in Syria and Leb and he accompanied the five-member family of one of the most prominent leaders of the group in Leb to Raqa via The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire....
," the statement added.

The other bully boy meanwhile confessed to "operating in a very professional manner to fend off suspicions seeing as his activities involved meeting the logistical needs of the Lebanese IS gunnies who are present in Syria."

"He was in contact with the most prominent Syria-based Lebanese leaders of the group. He also coordinated with IS leaders in Raqa and linked them to the aforementioned detained bully boy, R. S.," the ISF said.

He also facilitated the travel of R.S. and the family of an IS leader to Raqa, the ISF added.

The two detainees have been referred to the Military Court.
