2013-08-20
[An Nahar] Military Examining Magistrate Judge Fadi Sawan questioned on Monday Ibrahim Khanjar and his brother Wassim and Mohammed Hmeid, who are charged with belonging to an armed terrorist organization and the possession of weapons.

According to the state-run National News agency, the three men are also accused of carrying out terrorist acts and the possession of explosives.

Ibrahim is also involved in opening fire at an army patrol at the end of July in the Bekaa town of Majdal Anjar and killing a soldier and injuring another.

on August 2.

An arrest warrant was issued against the three men.

Sawan however postponed to Tuesday the interrogation of a fourth suspect Khaled Dally.

Khanjar is also accused of the abduction of the seven Estonians and killing of army intelligence Maj. Abdo Jasser, his lover companion First Sgt. Ziad al-Mais and another soldier in Majdal Anjar in 2011.

20-year-old soldier Charbel Hatem was killed and Paul Ashqouti was injured after their patrol was targeted with gunshots during a raid in Majdal Anjar to apprehend Wissam Khanjar.

The seven Estonians were freed in July 2011, almost four months after being kidnapped by gunnies as they entered the country on a bicycle tour from neighboring Syria.

Their release took place amid unclear circumstances.
