Syria-Lebanon-Iran
Palestinians Warned that IS, Nusra May be Plotting to Take Over Ain el-Hilweh
2016-07-15
[AnNahar] Paleostinian factions and the residents of the Ein el-Hellhole Paleostinian refugee camp have reportedly received warnings from Lebanese sides that some gunnies are seeking to enable jihadist groups to seize control of the camp, which is the largest in Leb.

"There are terrorist preparations to overrun some areas in the Ein el-Hellhole camp and the pro-Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems....
groups are being led by Imad Yassine while the pro-Nusra Front groups are being led by Haitham al-Shaabi, al-Joumhouria newspaper reported on Thursday.

It quoted security sources as saying that the Paleostinian factions and residents have been cautioned that "the snuffies are trying to turn the camp into a time bomb that might explode any moment."

"Should the situation deteriorate and explode, it will lead to severe repercussions for the camp's residents, who will be the first casualty of the plots of these groups," the sources warned, calling on Paleostinians to "protect the camp and expel the malicious terrorist elements from it."

The sources also called for "avoiding another Nahr al-Bared experience," referring to the devastating 2007 conflict between the Lebanese army and the Death Eater Fatah al-Islam
A Syrian-incubated al-Qaeda work-alike that they think can be turned off if no longer needed to keep the Lebanon pot stirred.
group, which razed the Nahr al-Bared refugee camp to the ground.

"The factions and the residents must prevent these groups from achieving the objective of turning the camp into an emirate for them and a launching pad for creating conflict between the camp and its neighbors," the sources added.

The sources, however, reassured that "the army is thoroughly monitoring what is happening in the Ein el-Hellhole camp and is still counting on the rational parties to defuse the unrest plots and eliminate its reasons through a series of measures."

"The army will not allow terrorism to find a safe haven in the camp or in any area in Leb," the sources stressed.

"It is totally unacceptable to turn the Ein el-Hellhole camp into a hub for terrorism that might spread to blow up entire Leb and any attempt will be confronted with all due force and resolve," they added.
