The Mustaqbal parliamentary bloc slammed on Tuesday the release of suspects linked to the case of the abduction of two Turkish pilots, saying that this “scandal” helps enforce lawlessness in Lebanon.

At least two people were wounded Monday evening as clashes renewed between the rival neighborhoods of Jabal Mohsen and Bab al-Tabbaneh in Tripoli.

The Tripoli-based Islamic National Gathering on Sunday held a meeting at the residence of Mustaqbal bloc MP Mohammed Kabbara in the city to discuss the developments “at the political, judicial, security and popular levels,” after at least one resident of the mainly Alawite Jabal Mohsen neighborhood was arrested on charges of involvement in deadly bombings that targeted two Sunni mosques in the city.

Mufti of Tripoli and the North Malek al-Shaar, former Internal Security Forces chief Maj. Gen.

“We will never discriminate between a citizen and another based on religious and sectarian belonging, and I clearly tell my brothers the Alawites … that we appreciate them and that they are a part of this city's social fabric,” Shaar said after meeting with a Mustaqbal delegation led by ex-MP Mustafa Alloush.

Several members of the Arab Democratic Party are behind the twin bombings in the northern city of Tripoli in August, reported al-Mustaqbal daily on Sunday.
