Islamic Gathering: Tripoli Blasts Continuation of Samaha-Mamlouk Scheme, City Won't Be Dragged into Forming Cantons
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
The Islamic National Gathering assured on Saturday evening that the northern city of Tripoli will not be “dragged into creating sectarian cantons.”
"The residents of Tripoli will not be dragged into the project of dividing the country and of creating sectarian cantons,” al-Mustaqbal bloc MP Mohammed Kabbara said after an exceptional meeting of the gathering in the port city.
He stressed: “They will not allow terrorists to reach their goals.”
A statement released by the members of the gathering said that Friday's explosions “are a continuation of the Mamlouk-Samaha scheme that aimed at igniting strife in Lebanon.”
"They serve the interests of both the Syrian and the Iranian regimes,” it said.
The statement was pointing out to the case of former Information Minister Michel Samaha and Syrian security chief Maj. Gen. Ali Mamlouk.
Lebanese judicial authorities have charged Samaha and Mamlouk with forming a group to commit terrorist crimes in Lebanon.
The two were also charged with plotting to assassinate political and religious figures.
The Islamic gathering said the people of Tripoli “choose the state and its institutions as a reference,” urging them to cooperate with the new measures adopted by the army and the security forces.
The conferees also praised the “attitude and behavior of Tripoli's residents” following the bombings.
“Their stances after the blasts prevent those looking to cause sedition from attaining their goals,” Kabbara said.
“And their impulsiveness to assist in the rescuing operations is an example of civil and human responsibility.”
Saturday's meeting came one day after car bombs exploded outside two Sunni mosques in Tripoli killed nearly 45 people and wounded 900 others.
The first bomb struck in the city center at the al-Salam mosque as worshipers were still inside.
The second explosion struck just minutes later outside al-Taqwa mosque, about two kilometers away, near the port.

4) Remove all yellow traitor flags from the area, and of course all Nasrallah brainwashed supporters.
5) Once 4) is done, the three first mesures will prove unnecessary

In many countries, false accusations of treason lands you in jail... of course, do not worry, you are on Naharnet where these types of comments are encouraged as the bigger plan calls on Lebanese people to kill each other rather than solve their problems.
Lebanese people have mass myopia and forgot that after 15 years of civil war, they sat down and made peace... well they were paid for it by Saudi, but...

That's exactly right. Oppressing Sunnis is what HA has done. Christians as well but to a lesser degree. I have a feeling they will pay dearly for it and urge the Shia community to distance itself from them.

I forgot about qusayr, homs and halab lads who will want to come and visit Bekaa to thank HA for their killed wives, children or parents.
And then, like said former HA boss Subhi Tufeili, HA will make alliance with Israel...

I think you need to speak more to Syrian civilians before making the above remark.
Also, you are promoting Subhi Tufeili??? hahahaha
What exactly is the purpose of this post?
Have you heard of Britel? Where all car thieves are based?
The same Subhi Tiufeili who was wanted by the Lebanese Govt?
You side with him just because he is n HA outcast?
The quality of comments here has degraded considerably.

Explain to me then how can you support the opposition in Syria made in large part of these kinds of militants that are the strongest and most capable. If and when Al-Assad falls, do you think they'd simply pack up and go back home, or stay in Syria, making it the next Iraq, and drag Lebanon down in the process?

since when 3% is a large part ? Thats not pro-fsa figures, but from us/european think tanks.
Don't forget those terrorists where in syrian jails and abu ghraib til recently, when they were freed by Bashar and Maliki so they could say they're fighting alqaeda.
Those pricks u see on the videos were working with bashar moukhabarat in Iraq and Lebanon...

@cedre
us/european think tanks are experts on al qaeda head counts in Syria?
besides, where does al qaeda get the bulk its funding from?
the sources and channels are well know to western spy agencies... and in many cases encouraged (especially in Syria!!)
Read the book GHOST WARS

Unlike Hexbollah areas there are multipliable political parties allowed in Tripoli including some that are nothing more than Assad Intelligence fronts.

Sick indeed!!
Where are the global/regional/Lebanese Sunni religious leaders?
What do they say of these acts in the name of Sunnis?

Agreed. Our Sunni leaders need to show more support to the mainstream FSA and speak out against the extremists. Unfortunately, with many countries not supporting the FSA with arms, the extremists have proved highly effective and a vacuum was created.

@actionman
Where did you see a comment from me asking to protect the Syrian regime?... pathetic you are indeed.
So everyone who does not agree with you is a traitor?
Read your Lebanese history before mingling with others... Lebanese slaughtered Lebanese. Over 100,000 during 1975-76; 7arb El Jabal; sharqi saida; the list is endless...
It is ironic that M14 characters forgot that they were all in bed with the Syrians for decades.
