| 2014-03-29 |
| [An Nahar] President Michel Suleiman ...before assuming office as President, he held the position of commander of the Leb Armed Forces. That was after the previous commander, the loathesome Emile Lahoud, took office as president in November of 1998. Likely the next president of Leb will be whoever's commander of the armed forces, too... urged on Friday the Lebanese Armed Forces to confront gunnies and criminals no matter how much sacrifices they make. In a statement issued by Baabda Palace, Suleiman said: "All terrorist activities that target the members of the army and police won't stop those forces from implementing the decision of the government to preserve security and stability." The cabinet approved on Thursday a security plan for the northern city of Tripoli ...a confusing city, one end of which is located in Lebanon and the other end of which is the capital of Libya. Its chief distinction is being mentioned in the Marine Hymn... and the northern areas of the Bekaa Valley bordering Syria. It instructed the armed forces to seize weapons caches and take all measures to arrest gunnies in Tripoli in addition to kidnappers and assailants involved in car theft in the Bekaa. Suleiman urged the armed forces to stick to the measures that they are taking in hotspots and "not to be lenient with gunnies and criminals no matter how much sacrifices they make so that they preserve civil peace and security." The president also said that the army and security forces "should cut the road to those who sought to turn the nation into a hostage to serve gunnies and criminals." |
