Salam visits Tripoli, vows no leniency with security violators

Prime Minister Nawaf Salam arrived Tuesday aboard a military helicopter in the northern city of Tripoli, where he said that his visit is to “stress the government’s keenness on sustainable security in Tripoli and on protecting its sons.”

“The basis of security is the developmental aspect, which Tripoli lacks, and the issue of the proliferation of arms must be addressed,” Salam added.

“We are committed to sustainable security stability in the city and we will not be lenient with anyone who violates security and they will be referred to the relevant security agencies,” the premier went on to say.
