Report: Army Tightens Security Around RHUH over Jihadist Patients
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
The Lebanese army upped security measures near the Rafik Hariri University Hospital after alleged photos of militants being treated at the facility were leaked, al-Joumhouria newspaper reported on Wednesday.
The army also questioned physicians and nurses at the hospital to reveal the identity of the person who leaked the photos, the daily said.
A security official expressed fears that extremists would carry out an attack on the hospital to free the patients.
Al-Jadeed TV said Tuesday that the hospital is treating several terrorists from the al-Qaida-linked al-Nusra front and the Islamic State group.
The extremists were injured in the fighting between them and the Lebanese army in the northeastern border town of Arsal last month, it said.
The militants have beheaded two Lebanese soldiers who were seized after the fighters briefly overran Arsal.
They have taken several other soldiers and security forces members as captives.

This is not a government we have. They want to abide by Baabda declaration and they receive these animals in our hospitals and we the Lebanese people pay for it

you know "terrorist" when you call shias "metweleh" you're neither sounding though and brave (you'd need to say it in front of one for that) nor offending anyone (we know you're just an armchair warrior with an inferiority complex).
what you're doing however, is exposing yourself as a sectarian hater, and making anything you say irrelevant and not credible, because you clearly are biased and blinded by sectarian hatred.

You're all so retarded and it reflects your ignorance when commenting on other articles. The point of the article is NOT that jihadists were "discovered" at the hospital, but the army is treating the wounded jihadists at RHUH. And as such, after the leak, feared that the hospital would be attacked for the RELEASE. Hence the army surrounded the hospital. PLEEEEEEEEEASE guys stop commenting bullcrap evrywhere especially you flamethrower with all respect to your opinions!

Loyalty is to the nation and its people above everything else. Hezbollah is a militia. I suspect that if the government order the army to disarm hezbollah, you will be cheering for the Hizb.

HA and the army work together, against your dear dear scumbags who attack both HA, the army, and the people.
so it's quite ironic that you pretend to be assessing whether esquire's loyalty is more towards HA or towards the LAF, while your's is against both.

Must Health care become sectarian too ....... Hospitals for Shias, others for Christians, others for Sunnis (WAKE UP PEOPLE).
Regardless of the hospital, it is the responsibility of those running the facility to notify the State when known enemies of the State are being treated there. If true, management change must be in order.
Still HA must be disarmed.

I do not know why NAHANET tolerates sectarian hate speech? Also, the picture this "terrorist" is showing is used by racist zionists to show the depiction of Prophet Muhammad. I know very few Sunnis and other Muslims read comments, but isn't NAHARNET English published in Lebanon?
So you accuse someone of being sectarian, then you say how few Muslims read comments, not to mention all your Nazi, Darwinist, anti-Semitic propaganda. Before you complain to Naharnet about using sectarian hate speech, just look in the mirror.

Thus, when the HCG diet info was released today,
I once more sharpened my pencil to take notes. But first,
here is a list of a few of the similarities:.
This type of diet is based on the justification that grapefruit
has a fat-burning enzyme or identical property.
