[AnNahar] Five Islamist bandidos bully boyz were handed jail terms ranging from two to seven years on Monday over terror-related charges.

State-run National News Agency said the Military Court sentenced senior Abdullah Azzam Brigades

in the western Bekaa region on January 15, 2014.

He had been charged with belonging to a terrorist group, plotting to carry out terrorist attacks across Leb and forging Syrian, Lebanese and Paleostinian identification papers.

The court also handed down a 3-year sentence to radical holy man Sheikh Omar Bakri Fustoq, who was arrested in Aley on May 25, 2014.

Fustoq had been charged with "belonging to armed terrorist groups; training bandidos bully boyz on arms and explosives; seeking to create an Islamic emirate in the North; delivering religious sermons containing insults against the state and the army; and incitement to civil war."

Bakri lived in Britannia for almost 20 years before settling in Leb in 2005 after he was banned from London under government curbs following the underground and bus bombings that year.

The Syrian-born holy man, who also holds Lebanese nationality, had denied having any links to al-Qaeda although he said he believed in "the same ideology."

Also on Monday, the Military Court sentenced prominent Tripoli

gunman Hussam al-Sabbagh to two years in jail. His bodyguard Shadi Zaylaa received a similar verdict.

Sabbagh was arrested in Tripoli's Abi Samra neighborhood in July 2014.

Known as Abu Hassan, Sabbagh holds Lebanese and Australian citizenships and is wanted by authorities in both countries for belonging to al-Qaeda, most notably the Fatah al-Islam

group.

Influenced by al-Qaeda's mentality during the United States' invasion of Afghanistan in 2001, he joined the group in fighting U.S. troops in the country.

He also sent members of al-Qaeda through Leb and Syria to fight in Iraq against invading U.S. troops in 2003, according to MTV. In recent years, Sabbagh was heavily involved in the festivities between Tripoli's rival neighborhoods of Bab al-Tabbaneh and Jabal Mohsen.

The Military Court also sentenced Mohammed Bassam Hammoud to five years in jail.

According to NNA, the five men were convicted of "belonging to an armed terrorist group with the aim of carrying out acts of terror as well as the possession of arms and explosives."
