ISF Apprehends Prominent ISIL Member in the Bekaa
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
The Internal Security Forces Information Bureau nailed a new achievement by detaining a member of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) by mere coincidence, As Safir newspaper reported on Tuesday.
According to the daily, Syrian national Turki Qalfoun was arrested at an army checkpoint in the eastern Bekaa Valley for lacking the necessary identification papers and was handed over to Baalbek's police station, which in turn referred him to the information bureau for investigation.
Qalfoun's cellphone showed that he left the northern city of Tripoli's Abi Samra neighborhood soon after militant Osama Mansour was killed on Thursday.
The newspaper reported that the suspect intended to leave for the northeastern border town of Arsal to meet with Abou Mouatassem, an Egyptian national, who is affiliated to ISIL.
Investigations revealed that Qalfoun plays a key role in recruiting members to ISIL and has traveled to Egypt, Turkey and Algeria.
Pictures on his cellphone confirm that he has been to ISIL's military training camps and a large stash of money was confiscated from his possession.
Last week, security forces succeeded in arresting Sheikh Khaled Hoblos and killing Mansour and Ahmed al-Nazer in an ambush in Tripoli.
Meanwhile, As Safir reported that a prominent officer at the Free Syrian Army recently handed himself over to the Lebanese army in Baalbek over fears that terrorist organizations are seeking to kill him.
The officer wasn't identified by the daily.

Why rob credit from the army ("Turki Qalfoun was arrested at an army checkpoint in the eastern Bekaa Valley") to give credit to the mustahbali tool? ("The Internal Security Forces Information Bureau nailed a new achievement")

There is nothing sectarian in this, unless you absolutely need to see it this way.
It is a fact, a political fact, that the ISF has been turned into a mustaqbal tool and was the main recipient of US aids, training and equipment.

Mowaten, in Lebanon we have something called the LAF, meaning, Lebanese Armed Forces (of course and I know that you know). Not too long ago, they've finally achieved their much needed synchronization between them all, removing all barriers that may have existed in their mutual cooperation. So in truth what matters is not which branch of the LAF caught which terrorist because neither you nor me can know as this are things that take place inside and between the LAF. The main thing is and always remains, that the LAF is getting better and better in securing our country, something Hezbollah has long lost to other countries.

phoenix you accustomed me to better informed comments. the LAF means the army, while the ISF is the internal security forces, they are as distinct as army and police would be in other countries.

Thank you Mowaten for letting me know, I love you brother, I will try to improve with time, but sadly today I am sticking to my story. The Army is known as the Lebanese Army, as the rest of our armed forces are known under their respective constitutional name designation, so all of them combined, they are known as The Lebanese Armed Forces, which I hope will one day soon encompass Hezbollah which currently is still under mercenary control of Iran.
