Authorities Release 'Mentally Ill' Syrian Agent Linked to al-Rahi Plot
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
Lebanese authorities have released a man who had claimed that the Syrian intelligence recruited him to take photographs of a town as part of a “security plot” during a visit made by Maronite Patriarch Beshara al-Rahi, al-Akhbar newspaper reported on Thursday.
The daily said security forces arrested Jikar. S. while he was taking pictures of the Mount Lebanon town of Hamlaya, a day before al-Rahi's visit on May 17.
The 24-year-old suspect admitted that he was recruited by the Syrian intelligence 18 months ago in return for a LL500,000 monthly pay and that he was sending the photos to his father who resides in the eastern Bekaa Valley, it said.
He also allegedly claimed that he was coordinating with his brother who lives in southern Lebanon and works for the same agency.
Jiskar said that the Syrian intelligence wanted the photos because it was “plotting for a security act” during the patriarch's trip to Hamlaya.
Al-Akhbar said that military prosecutor Judge Saqr Saqr referred the suspect to the Internal Security Forces Intelligence Branch, which concluded after questioning him that Jikar was mentally unstable.
It quoted an ISF official as saying that the Intelligence Branch released the suspect for being “mentally ill and for making up a baseless story.”

Another fabrication by takfiri terrorists.
Rahi knew what awaited Christians in Syria and Lebanon if takfiris had succeeded in their plot to takeover Syria, so he opposed it from the start. Takfiris send a retard/mentally ill person/whatever in a pathetic bud to make Rahi fear the Syrian authorities.
His condemnation during the Palestine trip is only the latest reaffirmation of this fact:

But i wonder, as everyone should, how a self-declared "agent" is released like this? Who is the Justice minister again?

and who controls the ISF, who actually released the guy? LOL guys, had he been a syrian intelligence agent, or even as much as a syrian regime sympathizer, you can be sure the ISF would have tortured him into "admitting" he killed kennedy
also, you guys usually describe the syrian intelligence as the devil itself, super-powerful, invisible, all-knowing and whatnot, and today you are ready to believe they are amateurs who would hire a retard who gets caught for -taking pictures- and doesnt even have a cover-up story?

Karim, in the old days, a friend of my dad's was so much in love with Farid Attrash that he played his favorit tape all day long and for days, that is till the neighbors barged in, removed the tape, destroyed it and told him never to play anything for Farid, never, ever. Karim, the time has not come for you to change that tape of yours.

Karim
I have a question for you
Would you ever do me this great favor please by simply posting a comment that actually makes sense??
it is so lame to only post anti FSA Quaeda jihadists slogans right off the wall with no relation to the article
Now before you do me this favor do you first think you are capable of doing it correctly??

Nothing new from the syrian regime, after all samaha was sent to commit terrorist acts including attack on al rai's visit to the north and blame the attacks on al qaeda.

Interesting, Jiscard is sent away for being mentally unstable, yet we have a very high proportion of Syrian refugees that are as bad as him. has anyone paid any attention to the rising crime rate in Lebanon lately? Sure, we need to release them, but back to Syria where they belong, all of them.

As long as totalitarian Iranian Shia are not militarily confronted and defeated in Lebanon, crime will be the first "political" actor in this occupied country.
