Security Plan to Combat Lawlessness to Kick Off in Bekaa
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
The security agencies, AMAL movement, and Hizbullah agreed on a scenario to help implement a security plan that will kick off this week in the Bekaa region, al-Akhbar daily reported on Monday.
The plan to control the spread of outlaws, thieves, carjacking and kidnapping fanning out in the eastern region aims to gain the people's support in a bid to assist the Lebanese army's mission and make it a success, the daily added.
“The Lebanese army does not want to suppress the demands of the people in the Bekaa or improve their living and economic conditions, but to fight thieves and outlaws,” unnamed security sources told the daily.
On the other hand, As Safir newspaper pointed that Speaker Nabih Berri will hold a meeting with a delegation from Bekaa clan elders in the context of preparations for the security plan.
It is likely that the visiting delegation will also meet with Army Commander General Jean Qahwaji.
Berri told As Safir that the time has come for the state to grasp control and extend its authority once again in the Bekaa region.
“The region has paid dearly for negligence at all levels,” Berri said.
The cabinet approved recently a 1.6-billion-dollar plan to provide the Lebanese army with the necessary equipment and arms. The payments will be made over a five-year period.
Increasing crime, thefts and abductions in Bekaa have intensified in the past year, although the state institutions have launched a number of campaigns to combat the trend.
Military and security experts say that kidnapping, carjacking and other crime will continue to increase amid a decentralization of security authority in Lebanon that has led security bodies to align with rival sects.

They (Ha) are too busy these days exporting their terror and weapons across the border into Syria. That's their motivation behind appearing to be cooperative with the army patrolling the streets.

Lebanon will never go forward if it is not Partitioned,as i said on previous occasions Lebanon and Lebanese are like an unerupted Volcano that has been boiling over academically,sports and many various God gifted talents but we have been held back from bursting on the world stage by a bunch of Neantherdals. The few are destroying the very many,enough is enough. I Love you Lebanon today tomorrow and Forever.

Lets cut the crap folks....January 2011 when the mob/scums/filth HA pointed their guns and attacked the city it was plain & simple a coup d'état. Enough with all these cat & mouse games between the so called state & resistance. Lebanon will never be the same until HA is removed once and for all. It starts with the FSA crushing the dirt bag Assad and then it will no doubt trickle down into Lebanon and next to be flushed down the sewer....HA!

I started reading this site recently, and all of your comments is nothing but racism and discrimination against this group and that group. if you don't change your attitude and accept Lebanese of any descendent, color and religion, you will never live in peace and exist in this modern world. I left Lebanon 35 years ago and it seems that its still the same Lebanon that I left behind. I love this country but I just can't figure out the people that lives in it.

It seems that Amal and Hizbcocaine have created such a crime mentality in their societies that now that can't handle it. The rest of the country always have to clean up their mess.
