Lebanon has two-point plan to end Fatah al-Islam group | |
2007-06-07 | |
Six major Palestinian factions operating in Lebanon agreed to form a joint committee to coordinate affairs of the Palestinian refugees with the Beirut government and settle the Fatah al-Islam issue. The committee is headed by Palestine Liberation Organization diplomatic representative in Beirut Abbas Zaki, Palestinian sources said They said the committee comprises representatives of Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas' mainline Fatah, The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), The Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine (DFLP), Hamas, Islamic Jihad and the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine-General Command (PFLP-GC).
The two-point understanding is based on the Lebanese government's distinction between "two categories of Fatah al-Islam terrorists. Those who slaughtered the Lebanese Army (in a surprise attack during their sleep), and those who fought the Lebanese Army," the source said. The first category includes "some 50-60 terrorists wanted for killing the Lebanese troops, security officers and Lebanese citizens," according to the source. He said the second category covers "some 150 fighters who took part in the fight against the army at Nahr al-Bared as of May 21," when the army launched its counter offensive, one day after Fatah al-Islam terrorists slaughtered a number of its troops in a series of surprise raids. Lebanese Authorities want to refer all Fatah al-Islam terrorists who fall under the first category to a military tribunal on charges punishable by death. While others would be tried also by a military tribunal and then extradited to their respective nations, except for Lebanese citizens and Palestinian refugees residing originally in Lebanon who will serve their sentences in Lebanon, the source explained. This leaves no other option for Fatah al-Islam terrorists but to surrender or face death "in a final show down with the Lebanese Army." | |

#2 The only 2-point plan that will work: 1. Kill them. 2. Kill them again just to make sure. |
