| [An Nahar] March 14 Those are the good guys, insofar as Leb has good guys... General Secretariat coordinator Fares Soaid expressed surprise on Saturday over the presence of an armed branch affiliated in the Jamaa Islamiyah. "We stress that the March 14 forces are struggling to move to the state which is the only competent side tasked with defending Leb," a statement by Soaid said. Al-Hout unveiled on Saturday the establishment of al-Fajr Brigades -- the armed branch of the group -- during a seminar in Akkar. He noted that Jamaa Islamiyah will only use its arms if the "national security was under threat." Soaid said in a statement issued by his press office that any weapons outside the Lebanese state "under any pretext" are unacceptable. "The March 14 forces demand MP al-Hout and Jamaa Islamiyah to clear the statements in order to put an end to any speculations," it added.
