Bekaa Fugitives Flee Area ahead of Implementation of Security Plan
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
Outlaws in the eastern Bekaa Valley have reportedly fled the area to evade a much-anticipated security plan expected to be implemented soon, media reports said on Sunday.
Sources said in comments published in the Kuwaiti al-Anbaa newspaper that dangerous fugitives left their homes in the eastern Bekaa and headed to the Syrian town of Qusayr and other neighboring towns.
Interior Minister Nouhad al-Mashnouq announced recently the Central Security Council discussed the measures that will be implemented in the Bekaa to maintain stability.
The plan seeks to clamp down on criminals in the Bekaa where certain areas, such as the town of Brital, are known to be a safe haven for car-theft gangs and drug dealers, as well as networks that kidnap people in return for ransom.
The army had launched a crackdown on assailants in Beirut's southern suburbs and several other areas in an attempt to halt security chaos across the country.
Security sources told An Nahar newspaper that the security plan is not linked to any of the security measures that the army has taken along Lebanon's border with Syria.
The sources added that the army is exerting efforts to strike with an iron fist in the Bekaa to reduce the security violations.
Speaker Nabih Berri has warned recently offenders in the Bekaa Valley that they will eventually have no choice but to hand themselves over to security forces, flee the country or face death ahead of the implementation of a security plan in the area.
“The Bekaa will not remain a safe haven for fugitives,” Berri was quoted as saying.

They are being warned by the party of terror and its agents in the security agencies. Qusayr has become the heartland of all wanted criminals supported by HA.

Not necessarily***
Hezbollah and Mustaqbal both cover for gangs, drug dealers and clans. They're both warning they're respective associates.

read the article again!
"dangerous fugitives left their homes in the eastern Bekaa and headed to the Syrian town of Qusayr and other neighboring towns."
"The plan seeks to clamp down on criminals in the Bekaa where certain areas, such as the town of Brital, are known to be a safe haven for car-theft gangs and drug dealers, as well as networks that kidnap people in return for ransom."
I doubt sunni fugitives would escape to qusayr which is controlled by hezbollah. I am not defending anyone here but the article talks about the Bekaa.

Maroun, you're right - if we're talking strictly about Beqaa. But if we're talking about the entire north, including Akkar and Tripoli (where security forces should also be deployed), then yes Mustaqbal does provide political cover for outlaws

Nasrallah: We highly value the stances of the prime minister, the Mufti and the ex-PMs, but the main role was played by al-Mustaqbal movement and its leaders. We might have very different viewpoints on the regional affairs and things might reach the extent of rivalry and animosity, but our morals oblige us to take the right and patriotic stance and to thank them and appreciate them despite our differences.

bless anyone person, entity, organization, brigade or country that inflicts pain and suffering, death, torture, and destruction upon the iranian sectarian terrorist militia and its members, supporters or followers wherever they may be.

The terrorist party just franchised dahieh and opened a branch in qusyr. Same recipe, same ingredients, same participants.
