Young Men in Sidon Altercation with ISF over Ashoura Security Measures
An altercation erupted Sunday in the Sidon suburb of Haret Saida between the Internal Security Forces and a number of young men over the closure of a key road leading to a Shiite mosque during a Ashoura ceremony, Voice of Lebanon radio (93.3) reported.
Voice of Lebanon radio (100.5) meanwhile said that the young men belong to Hizbullah.
Strict security measures have been taken around Ashoura commemorations across the country.
Fears have surged in recent years over the possibility of Ashoura gatherings being targeted by terrorist attacks in the wake of Hizbullah's military intervention in neighboring Syria in support of the country's regime.
The ten days of Ashoura mark the death of Prophet Mohammed's grandson Imam Hussein, who is revered by Shiites, in the Battle of Karbala over 1,300 years ago.
Every year millions of Shiites around the world mark Ashoura, which this year climaxes on October 12.

funny how all the trolls are here foaming from the mouth over a vague "altercation" where nothing seemingly happened, but absolutely silent here, where an army officer was shot and wounded:

When I post a comment at 4:20 in the morning your time, it is late afternoon my time. The question is why are you sleepless at 4 in the morning and having to post unless you are a paid iranian propagandist.

All my respect and admiration go to Mr. Mowaten for his perseverance in defending the indefensible regardless of the time of day, location, or time zone.

The only one foaming at the mouth is you! The difference is whoever did this in Tripoli will be hunted down, arrested, tortured, and sent to jail. But your outlaws who attack and kill the security forces remain free and have impunity.

"attack and kill"? where did you see that written? from the way the article is written it doesnt seem like it was more than an argument.
typical baseless propaganda

@mowaten
What can one say, another E-X-C-E-L-L-E-N-T comment. I particularly enjoyed the part where you said "a vague "altercation" where nothing seemingly happened"
Thank you for making our lives so much better.
Still laughing since January 2015.
Thank You

Strict security measures must be put to avoid terror acts, orchestrated either by CIA or by the wahabi state, if ISF doesn't comply, an alternative must do its work.

listen to the farsi terrorist say " if ISF doesn't comply"
yeah, the ISF must comply with the terrorist militia and report to it otherwise the ISF will get attacked and killed.
