Abu Ghida Questions 6 Detainees over Abra Clashes, Acquits One
2013-07-16
[An Nahar] First Military Investigation Judge Riyad Abu Ghida questioned on Monday six detainees for their involvement in last June's festivities in the southern town of Abra against the military institution.

"Abu Ghida interrogated six detainees and issued arrest warrants against 5 of them," the state-run National News Agency reported.

The same source added: "Meanwhile,
...back at the dirigible, Cynthia backed into the galley, the barbecue fork held in front of her. Jack! she called. Where the hell are you?...
the sixth person was released."

"Investigation in this case will resume on Tuesday."

On Wednesday, the military judge issued eight arrest warrants against runaways, including Salafist holy man Ahmed al-Asir and former singer Fadel Shaker over the festivities in the southern city of Sidon.

And on Tuesday, he issued arrest warrants against six other suspects.

The total number of arrest warrants issued so far has reached 25.

Last week, State Commissioner to the Military Court Judge Saqr Saqr charged 27 suspects, 10 of them in absentia, over the festivities against the Lebanese army in the southern port city.

If convicted, the suspects face the death penalty.

The fighting near Sidon was sparked late last month when Asir's supporters opened fire on an army checkpoint, leaving around 18 soldiers and more than 20 gunnies dead.

The gunbattles concentrated in the area of Bilal Bin Rabah Mosque and nearby buildings in Abra.

Asir, a 45-year-old holy man who supports the overwhelmingly Sunni rebels fighting to topple Syrian Hereditary President-for-Life Bashir Pencilneck al-Assad
Supressor of the Damascenes...
, is no where to be found along with Shaker.

Asir teamed up with Shaker, a onetime prominent singer, when around two years ago he began agitating for Hizbullah to disarm.
