| [Iran Press TV] Fresh festivities have broken out between Leb's army forces and armed Lions of Islam in the northern city of Tripoli ...a confusing city, one end of which is located in Lebanon and the other end of which is the capital of Libya. Its chief distinction is being mentioned in the Marine Hymn... , leaving at least five Lebanese troops maimed. According to reports, several civilians and Lions of Islam were also injured in Thursday festivities in Tripoli. A first lieutenant also sustained injuries during the fighting and is now at death's door. "The number of maimed soldiers has risen to five," said a Lebanese security official, speaking on condition of anonymity ... for fear of being murdered... , adding that "several gunnies have been injured, while others have been tossed in the calaboose Please don't kill me! ." The identity and motive of the armed Lions of Islam have not been revealed yet, but it is said that the fighting might have been related to the festivities between the Lebanese army and anti-Syria Lions of Islam that killed at least four people in the city earlier in the day. The deadly fighting took place after the Lebanese military forces attacked an apartment in the village of Aasun in the Dinniyeh region of Tripoli, said the country's security sources. The al-Qaeda-linked al-Nusra ...the current nom de guerre of al-Qaeda in the Levant, which isn't to be confused with al-Qaeda in Iraq and the Levant... Front and the ISIL Takfiri ...an adherent of takfir wal hijra, an offshoot of Salafism that regards everybody who doesn't agree with them as apostates who must be killed... Lions of Islam overran the city of Arsal, situated 124 kilometers (77 miles) northeast of the capital, Beirut, in August, abducting more than three dozen soldiers and security forces. They have executed at least three of the hostages. The Takfiri murderous Moslems demand the release of a number of Lions of Islam in Lebanese jails in exchange for the captive Lebanese soldiers and coppers. Over the past months, Leb has been suffering from terrorist attacks by al-Qaeda-affiliated Lions of Islam as well as random rocket attacks, which are viewed as a spillover of the conflict in Syria. Syria has been gripped by deadly violence since 2011 with ISIL Takfiri murderous Moslems currently controlling parts of it mostly in the east and north. |
