Military Tribunal Issues Arrest Warrants against Mamlouk, Col. Adnan over Samaha Case

The Military Tribunal issued on Monday arrest warrants against two Syrian officials over their links to the case of former Minister Michel Samaha, reported the National News Agecny.

First Military Investigation Judge Riyad Abu Ghida issued the warrant against Syrian security chief Ali Mamlouk and a colonel identified only by his first name Adnan.

The investigation in the case has been complete and file will be referred to the military general prosecution, added NNA.

Samaha was arrested in August and charged with plotting to assassinate Lebanese leaders and of transporting explosives from Syria into Lebanon to carry out attacks in the country's north in an attempt to provoke sectarian strife at the behest of the Syrian regime.

Similar charges were leveled against Mamlouk and Colonel Adnan.
