"التحقيق" مع عناصرالجيش المسؤولة عن مقتل الشيخ عبد الواحد ومشايخ عكار يحذرون من تصرفات بعص العناصر "المرتهنة" ويدعون لإضراب عام غدا

in 1975, the army killed Maaroof Saad in Saida, and that started the civil war then.
today, once more, the civil war is starting again, and in the same manner.
what a waste.....

There are many ways to stop a car and even to shoot at a car without killing.

Wla???? Ya mowaten Irani, are you ever capable of saying the truth about anything? What are members of your Party of the Devil doing in Syria? Spectating as neutral observers??? Ati3a to2ta3ak shou innak khabiss w'sakhif!

March 8 will investigate and the findings will be it was a UFO

I hope they finish them all, starting with the boss of crazies Daher. Don't they miss Big Mafioso Rafic?

This is a very dangerous situation. The Shia-Sunni tensions are burning hot from the Gulf to Iraq to Syria, and all the way to Tripoli. Unfortunately, people in Lebanon can't sit on the sidelines for once. They're always more Catholic than the Pope. I'm sorry to say, but you're all idiots for taking sides. Accusing the other of being Qaeda scum or an Iranian agent does what exactly? Feeling better about yourself while your country is burning?

"LBC later reported that Residents of Akkar, with the support of MPs from the region, took the decision to block all Akkar roads, kick the army out of the region, and hand security duties to the ISF." Kick the army out? No one can touch the army especially that it was doing its duty to safeguard the country...and that is what this investigation if conducted properly will show!

Hey Neon.You didn t say the same when Samer Hanna was executed .Did you?
And yes,politicians in both camps should shut up and keep quiet,They are dragging the country towards a civil war.
And no we do not want hizbolla protecting a regime that slaughtered thousands of lebanese you Flame Traitor.

Here's a stupid solution.. install video cameras at all checkpoints.

Go Lebanese Army!! Allah ye7meekoun bhal zourouf el sa3be w ma yrakboulkoun kameen tet2etalo ma3 7adan metel 1975 w 1988... Trekouwoun y2atlo ba3doun erhebiyye b erhebiyye. Khallikoun 3a janab w Good Luck!

yes and protect the Syrian Regime who slaughtered thousands of lebanese.
Thank you hizbolla

Same Like Lebanese Forces who had a real reason for owning weapons to protect Lebanon from Syrians but later had members of some outlaws that ruined their name and official mission and finally handed their arms, Hezbollah who had a real reason for owning weapons to protect Lebanon from Israelis now has members of some outlaws that are ruining their name and official mission and will be finally handing their arms due to this.
But before.... Palestinians will be kicked out of Lebanon. AND LEBANESE WILL LIVE HAPPY EVER AFTER

If a car drives past a checkpoint, you shoot to stop the car, not to kill those inside. At least you try.
Knowing the penetrating power for assault rifles, such things can happen. Yet the damage and death toll is such that it has to raise suspicions.

Yes Hizbolla are also in Iraq being caught by the Marines and released by the Iraqi government while monitoring the Iranian weapons, they were also caught by the Philipines Government luring them into the Iranian weaponry transfer. The fact is very simple: Weapons + money = brainwash Lebanese. In the end the entire Leb country pays the price of the Israeli jets for a single entity serving the Iranian masterminds.

Absolutely tight mowaten! FInally someone a bit wise. Let's wait and see before accusing the army. Iza el zalame m7ammal weapons and didn't want to stop, he should be shot at, regardless who he is. point final!

Aslab zalame slash. He cannot be objective ma belo ella bel msabbet wel prostitution. The guys give you facts and you make the dead people talk. They can say whatever is convenient for you dear. Just bring one single fact and then we talk :)

I would love to see one single comment from slash without insults. 3ayb wlo, lyom yom el rabb w chahr el Adra :)
You seriously think bashar would need the help of HA? hahaha! Be serious guys, proof read your thoughts before publishing, you would be more credible :)

Lebanon is in no need of having an army,it is a broken institution with no functionality,it is costly and yet it serves no purpose,the lebanese army is corrupted to the bone and cannot be salvaged, send them all home !Let us replace this no good institution by creating a brute police force that would carry orders and execute them proudly and efficiently,each police district is fully responsible to its area to implement the law without prejudice whether dealing with a big shot politician or simple Shepperd whose goats ate my cucumbers,lol

Obviously "someone" is trying to create strife in Lebanon to offer as leverage or barter in this case to save himself. Anyone old enough would remember an eerily similar thing happening in 1986 when sporadic anonymous caused unrest in West Beirut lead to the different groups accusing each others and to the Syrian army reentering West Beirut. It's known as Indirect Strategy, cause a problem and then you offer yourself as the solution. Hafez Assad was a master of this strategy it was used at various time by the Syrian to control Lebanon for thirty years.

It appear to be a simple case and responsibility should be determined rather quickly and all responsible should be dealt with swiftly,if not why not send all army home and I mean all without prejudice after all it costing the Lebanese budget a huge amount of money for nothing but more controversy and discord. all we need is a local police force who will handle all citizens needs in that location with fairness and professionalism .

the stupidity of m8 and their comments while the country is going down head first into civil war is amazing.
it is like these guys have only one wish in life: have a new civil war!
keep it up guys, it seems this is where we are going with your comments and the actions of your masters.
n wonder, stupid masters will have stupid followers: this is the difinition of m8.
all m14 are crying fowl and tying to contain the situation, while m8 are just spilling more oil on the fire.
if it is war that you want, you will be surprised by the outcome....

why don t you wait for more information? some say he stopped at the checkpoint and was shot, others that he didn t stop, others that he was taken in an ambush and that the army had to open fire...

so please, wait for credible info before resorting to insults or accusations! the exact thing M8 and syria are waiting for...

Now lets say he was a shia clergy or a christian, what would the reaction be.

See what a GCC newspaper is talking about us
http://gulfnews.com/news/region/lebanon/lebanon-warning-pushes-travellers-to-change-plans-1.1025292

What a shame! every year when summer is around the corner, our vital tourism industry gets shot right in the heart! Apparently no one, NO ONE, puts our country before their political or sectarian stupid interests! Then everybody starts lamenting about the ever growing debt and the ridiculous income per capita. If there's a country in the world that needs an earthquake is Lebanon to swallow all the rotten parties and institutions!

saying that the other side (M8) is neutral is total delusion... they are complicit in providing cover and support to the regime

See what a GCC newspaper is saying about us:
http://gulfnews.com/news/region/lebanon/lebanon-warning-pushes-travellers-to-change-plans-1.1025292
It is really infuriating that every year, when summer is around the corner our poor tourism industry gets shot right in the heart. This reflects the fact that no one, NO ONE, puts our country before their political or sectarian interest. And ironically does who lament about unemployment, inflation, low income, unfair treatment, then go and vote for the same politicians who are the very rotten roots of these problems. If there's a country in the world that needs a major earthquake, that is Lebanon by excellence. We need something to sweep and swallow all our decayed political parties and institutions.

you remember also what aoun always wanted? Did he ever say he was a supporter of syria inside leb?

be3tizir slash you are right in everything you say... if this makes you feel better :)
I will never let myself be dragged to your level of ignorance. When you start making sense, I will comment :)

Ya jame3a roo2o, ne7na 7a2 3leina killna. Kill wa7ad ra7 ma3 masla7et diino rather than masla7et watano. But how can you defend the sheikh? If he respected the army, this tragedy wouldn't have occurred.

"A security official said army troops shot dead Abdul Wahed when his convoy failed to stop at the checkpoint in al-Kweikhat".. This reminds me (of many times) of what the blood thirsty American imperialists did in Iraq and NO US killer was ever punished since the natives have no say in prosecuting the killers. We can not have this happen again in Lebanon. There must be a complete investigation.

The worthless Lebanese Army is only good at firing at fellow Lebanese and Palestinian refugees. It never fired a shot at invading Israeli enemy

Then why didn't he stop? What other reason is there than trying to smuggle weapons?

Yalla... Everybody is playing with us like they always did and we seem to be willing game. The situation in Syria is changing. The Saudis and Qataris are now more important to the Syrian opposition than the West since the Russian veto. So now the bedouins are using the Lebanese Sunnis to directly assist the Syrian opposition and the Iranians and Baathis are Using the Shia to try to stop the Sunnis. Everything is happening in our country and the best we can do is hurl insults on each other. And the Christians... Alla yese3edon: sandwiched, divided and powerless. Ya jamé3a let the Syrians sort their problems out and let's stay out of it. Don't we have enough problems already?

3akkari go burn tires byelba'lak, leave serious talks to adults

you mean the same army who watched hizbustan invade beirut on May 7th? the army who is just shater on one 3rd class citizens while a whole militia controls lebanon

I read all these comments and my conclusion, I miss my beloved country Lebanon, but i don't miss it's people, you guys are amazingly destructive,all of you,Lebanese people can coexist only BLMAHJAR,Wbi Lebnen Never,you guys made me give up hope on all of you......

mannak 3am twalli3 dwelib? Please! byelba'lak!

ya albe this is the only institution that is kind of trustworthy! They lack capabilities? Big time?! Bass from here to say let's irradicate the army? :) please a bit of non sense. ok ok it's something you don't have. You are a frustrated moujahid... go burn tires bass ntebeh ma te7ro' asabee3ak kiddo

realist is turning this into muslim christian fight... bravo

and thus here we have it, M8 on one side and M14 on the other talking trash, like anyone here on this comment list knows any of the facts to anything that is happening or has happened in Lebanon, half truths and hidden conspiracies that all boil down to who is making the most money out this situation and who has the most to gain. that all what the Lebanese are good for talk talk talk and any of you who thinks they know whats what, feels more superior that the others, like any of you can even be productive within the confines of your own home, work or society, instead you wasting your energy with this... what a loss

All sides have committed wrongdoings. All those who care for Lebanon should mourn the loss of any soul from civil strife. Now is the time for men to behave like men. Love their neighbors as they love themselves, forgive, and keep trying to keep a stable Lebanon. Let not one child relive the dark experiences of their fathers. God bless All Lebanese and bring peace to their hearts.

Pity the nation that is full of beliefs and empty of religion.
...
Pity the nation that acclaims the bully as hero,
and that deems the glittering conqueror bountiful.
...
Pity the nation that raises not its voice
save when it walks in a funeral,
boasts not except among its ruins,
and will rebel not save when its neck is laid
between the sword and the block.
Pity the nation whose statesman is a fox,
whose philosopher is a juggler,
and whose art is the art of patching and mimicking.
Pity the nation that welcomes its new ruler with trumpeting,
and farewells him with hooting,
only to welcome another with trumpeting again.
Pity the nation whose sages are dumb with years
and whose strong men are yet in the cradle.
Pity the nation divided into into fragments,
each fragment deeming itself a nation

Khalil Gebran

Or how will you tell your brother, ‘Let me remove the speck from your eye;’ and behold, the beam is in your own eye? 5 You hypocrite! First remove the beam out of your own eye, and then you can see clearly to remove the speck out of your brother’s eye.

Matthew 7 , 4-5

Trespassers should be shot..
I salute the army..

I dont recall the existence of the army , when Hezbushaiitan invaded Rafik Hariri airport and protected the notorious fugitive Jamil Sayed , i dont recall them stopping on the airport check point and none of their had papers number other than weapons with each body guard who were about 20-30

And all of this happens 24 hours after Qatar, Bahrain and the UAE ask for their citizens out of Lebanon... strange coincidence...

Was this guy with the Jamaa Islamiyya?

and you ya Bakri would make a fine Taliban.

reports from inside the investigation tem confirm it was a murdor. they are cornering the one who is behind it now and most probably we will hear about a "suicide" in the army soon.
by the way, as expected, the officer is shia.....

ya reformist , the army is no longer respected by all parties, haida hake, in fact it's disrespected by most parties.

You guys remember how Hezb el shaitain shot down the Helicopter , yalla min hoone

ألم نتعظ بعد كل هذا ... وهل تعلمون بأن العدو الإسرائيلي يرقص فرحاً وإبتهاجاً لما يحصل هو أكبر خدمة نقدمها الآن لهم ... يجب علينا أن نحمي أنفسنا ووطننا بدل عرض العضلات على بعضنا البعض ونعطي إنتباهنا وذكائنا ونستفيق لما يحاك ... هناك أعداء كثر وليس إسرائيل فقط والسلام

Lebanon has always been the playing field for double agents to settle other countries wars and a pressure relief safety valve to alleviate the stress on other regional countries fracture points. This is only possible in Lebanon because there is not a definite majority in Lebanon any more. And there was not a clear winner of the 75-90 wars. Education with no strings is the only salvation.

Aw, this was a very nice post. In idea I want to put in writing something like this
additionally taking time and precise effort to make a very fine articlebut what can I sayI procrastinate alot
and certainly not seem to discover something done.

Fantastic site. Plenty of useful information here.
I'm sending it to some buddies ans also sharing in delicious. And naturally, thank you for your sweat!
