Commissioner to the Military Court Judge Saqr Saqr decided on Thursday to transfer ex-Minister Michel Samaha, who was detained on suspicion of plotting terrorist attacks in Lebanon, to al-Rihaniyeh military prison in Baabda.
According to the National News Agency, Samaha was moved from his previous detention center in the military tribunal in Beirut's Mathaf area to al-Rihaniyeh for “security reasons.”
The former minister, Syrian National Security Bureau head Ali Mamlouk and a Syrian officer identified as Brig. Gen. Adnan were charged on Aug. 11 with plotting to assassinate political and religious figures in Lebanon and carry out terrorist attacks.
On Tuesday, Military Examining Magistrate Judge Riyad Abu Ghida heard the testimonies of Samaha's bodyguard and driver over the bombing attacks plot.
Bodyguard Ali Mallah and driver Fares Barakat, who were arrested for questioning on Aug. 9 and later released, testified to Abu Ghida on the transfer of explosives from Syria in an attempt to carry out bombings in northern Lebanon.

The photo shows the size of the popular support Samaha has. As for the seemingly lone man with the sign, the text resembles what Hassan would say!

What I don't get is why the bodyguard and driver have not been re-arrested seeing that they confessed on being in on the crime?
Looks like they have been offered a deal by the ISF. Confess and you walk free.
