| [AnNahar] Salafist Sheikh Bilal Deqmaq, who was handed over to Leb by Turkish authorities earlier this week, had made a $250,000 profit after selling arms in Leb and escaping to Turkey, An Nahar newspaper reported on Friday. Deqmaq was brought back to Leb on Wednesday aboard a Turkish jet and was accompanied by Turkish coppers who handed him over to Lebanese authorities.
Don't shoot, coppers! I'm comin' out! in Turkey on suspicion that he was smuggling cash to Death Eater groups, but was set free after he denied the charges. Following his release, Deqmaq was put under close watch by Turkish police. An arrest warrant was issued for him after Lebanese troops raided his parents' house 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... in late October and captured large amounts of weapons and ammunition, including automatic rifles and rocket-propelled grenades. Another wanted Salafist holy man, Dai al-Islam al-Shahhal, said at the time that the weapons belonged to him and demanded their return.
According to An Nahar, the cash in Deqmaq's possession at the time of his arrest in Turkey was the result of his $250,000 profit from selling large quantities of the arms stored in the house. Al-Shahhal did not have information about his scheme, said the daily. | ||
