Judge al-Zain Issues Arrest Warrants Against Qaida Suspects
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
Military Examining Magistrate Imad al-Zain issued on Wednesday arrest warrants against two al-Qaida suspects for preparing homemade explosives, the state-run National News Agency said.
NNA identified the two suspects with their initials as S.D and S.A.
It said the men were involved in the transportation in northern Lebanon of chemicals and explosive devices used in bomb-making.
One of them, who is an inmate at Roumieh prison, is suspected of communicating with wanted criminals at the Ain el-Hilweh Palestinian refugee camp in the South to secure the bombing devices, NNA added.
By long-standing convention, the Lebanese army does not enter the country's 12 refugee camps, leaving security inside to the Palestinians themselves.
Ain el-Hilweh, the largest Palestinian camp in the country, is home to about 50,000 refugees who live in dire conditions and is known to harbor extremists and fugitives.
Also Wednesday, a Syrian identified as Marwan Qassem was arrested by the Lebanese army in Ras al-Ain near the eastern city of Baalbek for smuggling arms, Voice of Lebanon radio (93.3) reported.
NNA said Qassem was in his white Hyundai when the arrest was made.

Do you even live in lebanon? These fanaticals are for the most part not even Palestinians. So how will you send them anywhere if they are lebanese? Or you think we can't produce fanatics? You can kick out every Palestinian and Syrian from lebanon but the problem still wouldn't go away. The only thing that would happen is that people like you would lose someone to blame and would have to come to terms that we lebanese don't need the help of anyone to mess up this country. Blaming others and talking the way you do will never solve the millions of problems we have.

I sincerly believe that lebanon has had enough of us lebanese before anyone else. And we havent given them much for us to say "we have nothing left to give you". No where in the article does it even mention that they are palestinian or syrian except for the one who was arrested in ras al ain which indicate that these two suspects are in fact lebanese, just like jund el shem is a lebanese group (which many didnt know) and just like many others who have this ideology are lebanese. Even one of the 9/11 hijackers was lebanese. So if we want to solve the problem then we need to first realize that it is not a racial ideology rather its an ideology which attracts people from all kinds of ethnic backgrounds, in some cases even americans who had converted.
