March 14 Says Kidnapping of Turkish Pilots Hits Lebanon's Credibility
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
The March 14 alliance's general-secretariat warned on Friday that the kidnapping of a Turkish pilot and copilot in Beirut targets the credibility of the Lebanese state.
“This incident has the sole objective of striking what's left of the credibility of the Lebanese state in preserving security in Lebanon and the (best of) ties with Arab and Western countries,” the coalition's general-secretariat said in a short statement.
The statement described the kidnapping as “very dangerous,” saying it could put Rafik Hariri International Airport on the list of “dangerous and unsafe” airports in the world.
Such a move would have repercussions on all the Lebanese residing in the country in addition to expatriates, it said.
The general-secretariat urged the Lebanese state to be “immediately mobilized” to put an end to such an encroachment and work on unveiling the people behind the kidnapping and handing over the Turks to their embassy in Beirut.
Pilot Murat Akpinar and his co-pilot Murat Agca were kidnapped at dawn Friday at the Cocodi bridge when gunmen ambushed their van, which was carrying a Turkish Airlines crew.
The armed men snatched the two men and let the rest continue on.
The van was traveling between the airport to a hotel in Beirut's Ain Mreisseh seafront.

The kidnapping of the Turkish Zionist pilots by the heroes of Zuwar Al Immam Rida was necessary to show the west the Islamic Secular Resistance aka HA (Hussain Army) is not deterred by their blacklisting.

I hate your war mentality.

It's about bloody time the majority of Lebanese woke up to the fact your country has taken ten steps back with this incident. Your country will have the same legitimacy given to Afghanistan and Pakistan, states of lawlessness. Wake up to yourselves before its too late!

FT are you so stupid or your love to aoun is making you so blind? last time passing by the airport road to chouwayfat, i saw an iranian air force transport plane taking off. 3Ala aynak ya tager. What about all the mobile phones being channeled through the airport without passing customs. what about the bomb on the airport road planted while hariri junior was going to flee lebanon? what about the genuine false passport being handed to some lebanese? what about the surete general of the airport being controlled by ha?

With all of these Islamic fanatics we are sliding back into the stoneage. I wish they would all move to Iran and coexist with the nasties that run that country.

FT, M14 have been calling for a strong state, no weapons, loubnan awalan while M8 are calling for arms in the hands of militias, destroying israel, fighting in syria, supporting terrorist assad who sends bombs to lebanon (not to forget the hundreds or thousands lebanese in the syrian jails). Now tell me who is harming lebanon's credibility. Even your beloved Aoun is uneasy about the m8 alliance as terrorist ha has completely cannibalized the lebanese state and reduced the role of christians and democracy to zero. Your beloved general was summoned in dahyé by nasrallah who told him that if he does't continue supporting ha he will be a dead man. Ha has put the sunni moderate ko killing their leaders and evading their noughbourhood. the same is awaiting aoun is he doesn't behave.

m14 are no jihadist supporters; you are just using jihadist as an excuse to your support for ha and the rest. jihadist as much as HA are terrorist, undemocratic organizations using religion to rule over ordinary citizens and seek power. the kidnapping of the turks is just a message from ha to salam, souleiman and jumblatt who are seeking for a neutral government which terrorist ha cannot control. we are in lebanon without a government as HA cannot accept a government without totally controlling it. The reality is that HA wants to turn lebanon into a shiite military autocracy ruling all its institutions. It has managed to neutralize moderate sunnis by killing its leaders (or banning them from the country) and invading their neighborhood. It has neutralized the christians who thanks to Aoun are completely in the pocket of HA. Welcome to hizbustan and bye bye lebanon.
