Suleiman: Discovery of Terrorist Cells Only Glimpse of what Global Terror Has in Store for Lebanon
President Michel Suleiman praised on Thursday the General Security members for their role in uncovering spy networks and terrorist cells.
He said: “The discovery of these cells and the firing of rockets in Lebanon are a glimpse of what global terror has in store for the country.”
He made his remarks during a ceremony marking the 68th anniversary of the establishment of the General Security.
The president added: “The military institution is at the heart of our interests as officials.”
“It should be properly equipped and bolstered with a national defense strategy that benefits from the resistance's expertise in confronting Israel,” continued Suleiman.
“You must remain united in carrying out your duties and you must have faith in the army and state institutions in confronting any instability,” he said addressing General Security officials.
Moreover, he warned of foreign dangers facing Lebanon, namely Israel's ongoing threat against the country's sovereignty.
“Confronting dangers is a collective responsibility,” he declared.
“Officials should maintain the proper operation of state institutions because they guarantee the functioning of the state,” he remarked.
The interests of the state institutions should not be affected by political setbacks, he noted.
