Lebanese Tweeter Arrested for Insulting Istanbul Attack Victims
The Internal Security Forces on Monday arrested Lebanese national Ramzi al-Qadi for writing insults on his Twitter account against the victims of Istanbul's nightclub attack, state-run National News Agency reported.
He is being interrogated over the motives that pushed him to post the tweets, NNA said.
“They died intoxicated as they were roistering. May they go to hell,” Qadi said in one of the tweets.
He also criticized the dispatch of a Middle East Airlines plane that carried the families of the Lebanese victims to Istanbul, slamming MEA as “the company of looting.”
Qadi also launched attacks against some media outlets and other tweeters who responded to his tweets.
Thirty-nine people, the majority of them foreigners, were killed and around 70 others were wounded when a gunman went on a rampage at Istanbul's Reina club where revelers were celebrating New Year's Eve. Three Lebanese were killed and six others were wounded in the attack.
The jihadist Islamic State group has claimed responsibility for the attack.

show us your courage and arrest the manar shia terrorist correspondent who tweeted "Istanbul paid the price it should pay" or is the sectarian above the law because he is a member of the iranian mercenary resistance?

I respect blablablabla and also agree totally with his comment.
When will the general security move in and arrest "terrorist " as well as those disgruntled M14 on this website?

she got promoted instead so will the al manar correspondent. In this country, what applies to any citizen does not apply to the shia of hezbollah.

indeed, this forum here is full of terrorism apologists, always finding excuses and "reasons" for daesh's crimes. not to mention the sectarian hate speech which is also punishable by law, the police should look this way if they want to make arrests.
but I suspect all or almost all of these trolls are based in israel and the US..

I honestly think he is mentally ill... if you check his Facebook account, it doesn't fall in line with what he tweeted! Or his account may have been hacked. Min any case, I think that he should be examined by a psychiatrist.
Also, in all Arabic/Lebanese social media, this kind of language has been used for number of years now.. From both sides; you see similar reaction when someone from the Hizballah get killed in Syria or someone who was fighting with the opposition. The social media made it the norm and no one was arrested... just an observation.
My hearts go out to the families f the victims who simply wanted to enjoy life and possibly get away for a little while.

I hope they hang this SOB, this is the type if inbred right wing crap Lebanon let in. That includes wahabi's and hezbollah. On a side note, seeing Movaten call others trolls is hilarious, as he's the queen of fake accounts and trolling. A hypocrite as always, be sure to keep it up as your takia and fake accounts provide excellent entertainment.

Hang him near the marines barracks where the first Hezbollah terrorist died in the TNT loaded truck in 1984, this way he can have a real taste of the pain.
