Interior Minister Nuhad al-Mashnouq revealed on Friday that a security plan for the northern city of Tripoli and the eastern Bekaa Valley approved by the government would be implemented “soon.”

In remarks to An Nahar newspaper, al-Mashnouq said: “The countdown has started.”

“Security forces are united in preserving security and preventing attacks, terrorism, bombings, forgery, murder and kidnappings,” he said.

“This plan targets only perpetrators no matter where they come from or what their sects are in accordance to the judiciary,” the minister added.

On Thursday, the cabinet tasked the army and security forces with seizing stockpiled arms and controlling the security situation in Tripoli and the Bekaa.

In similar remarks to As Safir newspaper published on Friday, Justice Minister Ashraf Rifi confirmed that Hizbullah has backed the plan.

The party said “it won't provide the political cover to any wanted suspect in the Bekaa and that the state should arrest perpetrators,” Rifi told the daily.

The minister also said that the cabinet approved to delay the approval on transforming the Internal Security Forces Intelligence Bureau into an independent branch upon the request of the Progressive Socialist Party.

The issue will be discussed during a session on Monday.

the only reason hez was mentioned is that they have previously on almost all occassions provided cover for wanted suspects, the cabinet was just checking and were told no we won't provide cover..pathetic.

Hezbollah backed plan ? Honik chaghleh !

“Security forces are united in preserving security and preventing attacks, terrorism, bombings, forgery, murder and kidnappings,” he said.

“This plan targets only perpetrators no matter where they come from or what their sects are in accordance to the judiciary,” the minister added."

If Hezbollah truly backs this plan, then let them submit their murderers and terrorists to questioning ! Otherwise, they are once again pissing all over the lebanese people with their bullshit statements and illusions.

@Wolf : who attacked Lebanon's integrity and sovereignty ?

- WHen you let Syria bomb Lebanon, do nothing about it and keep on cheering Assad ? You're letting your sovereignty be raped by Bashar

- When you let Hezbollah break all laws, block roads, conduct wars, all under the fake name of "Lebanese REsistance", without the authorization of the Lebanese government or people ?

- When you accuse Bashar of murder and side with him like Aoun did ? Where's integrity ?

You M8 sheeps are the ones pissing on our sovereignty, integrity, nationality, borders, security, economy, constitution, laws, justice and security !

@FT : yes, Syria and Iran to this very day rape our sovereignty with Hezbollah acting ABOVE the lebanese state and disregarding our institutions whether parliament, government or the presidency when they basically order them to get out of syria.

Syria's Bashar remains an ennemy of Lebanon. Pulling out of the country does not make him innocent of all the crimes he has commited. So until he's put on trial, he remains a criminal and all his collaborators are as such traitors and criminals themselves.

Now shove your pathetic attempt at making me appear pro-Israeli. We're more patriotic and Lebanese than you and Aoun and Nasrallah will ever be and are the true resistance against Israeli/Syrian and Iranian aggressions.

You are just a parasite fly on the crap that is Hezbollah !
