Currently on the run, he seems intent on reigniting the Leb civil war... . Assem al-Arefi, who was in jug over engagement in the heavy festivities with the Lebanese army in the southern city of Sidon in 2013, was freed from custody, Voice of Leb Radio (100.5) reported. Photos showed Arefi making the "V" for victory sign as he left his detention center. It wasn't clear if he was released on bail. Al-Asir and singer turned runaway Islamist Fadel Shaker are reportedly hiding in the Paleostinian refugee camp of Ein el-Hellhole that lies in Sidon. Sidon's festivities between the army and supporters of al-Asir have resulted in the death of at least 16 troops. |
