قهوجي: الجريمة بحق الجيش أتت عن سابق تصور وتصميم ولن نقبل بأي مسوامة سياسية

FlameThrower, will that not offend your allegiances?

I'm pretty sure HA is responsible for this? Who else believes they are above the law and security apparatus?

It is not as simple as you think. This situation can spin out of control fast and reason should be applied. The official story is not the whole story and there are competing versions. No matter which version (if any) is true, there are enough people on all sides believing each. If reason is not exercised, a local incident can become national and if that happens, the army will not be able to control it.

canadianadam just please don't say stuff the is ridiculously not true. It makes you sound stupid. Try to contribute in a smart way.

we saw how the killers of Samer hanna have been treated with a slap on the hand.
whatever happened in arsal (and it is still a mystery) if the army is going to raise the tension, it will be the major reason for the civil war to come.

I understand from one source that the suspect that the LAF were after (and who also died in the gun battle) was responsible for/involved in an historical attack that took out a high ranking HA inside Syria -- and even that some HA people could even have been in the vehicle with the two soldiers who died in the ambush.... Of course this is a "Lebanese rumour" so some or all of it could be nonsense, but it does seem to be a very messy and complicated case.
