Robbers of Cars Used in Haret Hreik, Hermel Explosions Arrested
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
Security forces arrested on Tuesday the robber of the car that exploded in the Beirut neighborhood of Haret Hreik, and the person that stole the booby-trapped vehicle that targeted the eastern town of Hermel earlier this month.
"Security forces detained both robbers of the cars used in Tuesday's explosion and in Hermel's blast,” al-Jadeed television reported.
MTV confirmed the news, identifying the man who stole the car used in the Haret Hreik explosion as Nabil Ahmed al-Moussawi.
"The judicial police's International Anti-Theft Bureau arrested al-Moussawi,” it said.
Al-Jadeed later revealed that al-Moussawi confessed to stealing several Kia cars, among them the vehicle that was used in the Beirut suburb's explosion.
Future TV added: "Al-Moussawi confessed to stealing both the cars that exploded in Hermel and Haret Hreik and revealed that he had sold them to Maher Tleis, who in turn took them to Syria."
Later on Tuesday, al-Jadeed said "the relatives of the Kia cars' thief Nabil al-Moussawi have disavowed his acts and urged the state to inflict the maximum penalty on him."
A car bombing targeted on Thursday the eastern town of Hermel, a Hizbullah stronghold, killing one person and wounding more than 26.
Meanwhile, at least four people were killed on Tuesday in a suicide bombing that rocked Beirut's southern suburbs.
A group calling itself al-Nusra Front in Lebanon, believed to be a franchise of the Syrian al-Qaida-linked group, claimed responsibility for both attacks.

anonymetexas: your comment is disgustingly sectarian, but also, and most importantly, completely WRONG on the basic facts.
moussawi (who may be shia i dont have a certainty about that but it's quite possible) stole the car and sold it. nothing says he knew anything about a bombing or has any link to the bombers.
the person he sold it to, maher tleis (who i think is sunni, because mustafa tleis for instance is sunni) could be involved and could also not be involved (he could be just a fence, buying and selling stolen cars). so until any investigation is completed, kindly keep your accusations, and especially your SECTARIAN accusations, for yourself.

how do you write tleis in arabic? isnt it طلاس ?
as for what i said, you pretend you didnt understand but i know you did. whatever their sect, stealing a car and selling it doesnt make them accomplices of the terrorists, unless they knew what the buyers were going to do with it.
use your head for a second, if you were the terrorist, would you tell the person you're buying the car from that you were going to use it for a terrorist attack??
and nusra claimed responsibility anyway, so it cuts it short.

actually, if they are followers of tufeili, then it confirms even more what i think. tufeili has sided with takfiris, he lives in saudi and is on their payroll and has been trained to spew venom on hezbollah on demand, everytime they put him in front of a camera.

How in the world would they found who stole the car now? if they are aware of the car thieves then why are they not in jail? It is OK to steal cars, just don't sell the suicide bombers? what a banana republic!

It seems they new who the car thief was beforehand. Since he is from ashraf el nass it was hush hush. However, when the explosion took place today, they had to question him.

Bravo. Dead on. To me it seems that the terroriste regime of el Assad is manipulating the lebanese as it has done it for the past 45 years

(1). Personally I always always welcome whenever the culprits are caught and reprimanded, always. It gives me the satisfaction that at least justice is being done. But as I mentioned previously in other posts, that to provide justice swiftly where it concerns attacks on Hezbollah, and yet drag feet when it comes to M14 victims means one thing only, that there is a blatant imbalance of the law in Lebanon. If it came to me alone, and if I had the means, I wouldn't allow one hair of one Lebanese citizen to be harmed, be it Hezbollah or other Lebanese party affiliated citizen. But in all fairness, there have been so many assassinations on M14 people, to this day most haven't received an iota of the attention that is given Hezbollah's terror victims.

(1). We are ALL Lebanese, the same Lebanese, we all share the very same blood in our veins, when one Lebanese dies from any terror attack, everyone should be equal, period, anything else means nothing to me. Even though I am relieved that culprits are being arrested today, but it still leaves a bitter feeling in my heart that the same hasn't been done for M14 victims. Terrible shame to say the least. This on its own merit has the effect of keeping the divide between people of the same and one nation.

I just gotta say that Lebanese police get more confessions than any other police force in the world. I wonder about their interrogation techniques... I mean really it's like Lebanese criminals are just waiting to confess.
