Arsal Roadside Bombing Death Toll Rises to Three
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
The death toll in an attack on an army patrol in the northeastern border town of Arsal earlier this month rose to three on Tuesday, the military announced.
The army said in a communique that soldier Mahmoud Ali Fadel, who had been injured in the roadside bombing, succumbed to his injuries on Monday night.
The 19-year-old will be laid to rest on Tuesday afternoon.
On Sept. 19, the attackers detonated a roadside bomb as the army truck passed by on a road near Arsal, killing two soldiers and wounding three others.
Prime Minister Tammam Salam blamed jihadi extremists for the bombing in a statement by his office.
The attack came after the army detained a Lebanese and two Syrians alleged to be part of a terrorist cell near Arsal.
Tensions on the border with Syria have ratcheted in the past two months, after militants overran Arsal, in early August, capturing and killing soldiers and police.
The militants, including the al-Qaida linked al-Nusra Front and the extremist Islamic State group, have executed three of the hostages.

if you were lebanese you would appreciate the fact that unlike syria and iraq, no part of lebanon has fallen to takfiri extremists although da3esh keeps saying they so badly want to come here... i guess something must be keeping them out, but what could that be??

oh i know, it must be the speeches of geagea having some sort of voodoo self-realizing prophecy powers. he keeps repeating that daesh doesnt exist, and therefore, with his head deep in the sand he cannot see them!

yes eagldown, threat after threat, kidnapping after kidnapping, massacre after massacre, they finally got what they wanted so badly: the wiping out of quseyr, which was being prepared to serve as launching pad for the invasion of northern bekaa. now these sore rears are doing the only thing they got left: whining, and trying to leverage the soldiers they treacherously kidnapped

afraid of the truth and caught in his own lies, flamethrower tries to delete the truth.
go back, rewind and stop revising history. These Nusra etc kept calling for your hizb to withdraw from syria and issued threat after threat before they finally took the game to your doorsteps. Isn't lying "haram" in your religion? here is what your other screen name said months ago
"-Flamethrower
the 24 hour 'ultimatum' sent last week to hezb by the FSA chief of staff, dakhlkon wein sar? LOL"

Reality is whether some like it or not is that we are the only country that went on the offensive against this disease. Even Obama admitted they underestimated the threat. Now had our army been given the freedom to act decisively and without hinderance we wouldn't have the problems we have now or have the refugee problems we have. that is reality.

You are the root cause of the instability of the country for resisting the disassociation policy.
Why is Jordan in peace ? Because they war wimp and signed with Israel a treaty or because of their disassociation policy.
time and time again you turn the innocent citizens killing such as in 2006 war with Israel to your advantage and speak on behalf of the whole country that reject you and your armed supported militia.

I was thinking the same thing mowaten, exactly the same. We both are shia extremists, we both twist the truth whenever we want, and we both are self centered. I just hope people don't get the wrong impression and think we are the same poster.
