Nine Individuals Charged with Smuggling Arms to Syria
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
Nine people have been charged with smuggling arms to Syria, announced the National News Agency on Friday.
State commissioner to the military court Judge Saqr Saqr also charged them for the possession of arms and smuggling and trafficking weapons to Syria.
Two of the suspects are in police custody, while the rest remain at large.
Saqr also charged six individuals for forming an armed group aimed at carrying out terrorist acts.
They have been found guilty of conducting trainings aimed at attacking military institutions, added NNA.
None of the nationalities of the accused have been disclosed.
In February, Lebanese authorities detained two Lebanese nationals on charges of smuggling weapons into Syria through the eastern border town of Arsal.
The examining magistrate issued arrest warrants against them on charges of smuggling weapons to Syria.
Earlier that month, the army had searched northern villages bordering Syria following information it received about the presence of armed groups that allegedly belong to the Free Syrian Army.
According to media reports, the army had detained a number of suspects and is conducting investigations with them.
The poorly-demarcated Syrian-Lebanese border has witnessed a number of violations since the revolt against Syrian President Bashar Assad began in mid-March.

I'd like to know what your beloved country did to prevent the smuggling of highly trained terrorists [understand Hezbollah] that assisted the dictators in his oppression and murders of innocent civilians. Oh wai, that's a false question. The hezbollah convoys took the highways with the compliments of the Lebanese State. What I do hope that justice will be served and that each accomplice of the Assad crimes will be punished. Thank-you TSL. To those who doubts that Hezbollah would kill innocent civilians, just remember what they did a few years ago against us on that bloody and unforgettable month of May.

ya mowaten khafeef. During the putsch attempt of May, those hezbollahi weapons were pointed at me, I was in my flat in Beirut and guess who came to my building at forbid me to keep my curtains shut across MY flat. When I was on the balcony, who pointed a Kalashnikov at me and forced me to go inside? The Israeli occupant never did this to me. The Syrian occupant never did this to me either. Only a lawless terrorist group terrorizes its own citizen. You're wrong to believe that a majority of the Lebanese wants those missiles and rockets on our territory. you're living in your fantasies...

Did you know the STL was provided with Mosad and CIA intelligence reports plus other collaborating intelligence services, about the cellular calls. They chose four out of 20000 in that area, and they happen to be Hizballah. Amazing the technology, it cannot be manipulated at all.

FBlower, "we unfortunately follow the US model (produce nothing, borrow everything)", what's wrong with your brain? What are talking about??? Do you really believe what you are saying? The USA is the biggest and most vibrant economy in the world. (yes I know about its Nat’l debt, that's another topic) and now let's see how many Lebanese work in Iran, Russia and Syria and support our families back home???
