12 Lebanese, Including Rifaat Eid, Charged with Belonging to Armed Terrorist Group
2014-04-06
[AnNahar] State Commissioner to the Military Court Judge Saqr Saqr charged on Saturday 12 Lebanese, including Arab Democratic Party politburo chief Rifaat Eid

, with belonging to an gang, possession of arms and inciting sedition.

State-run National News Agency reported that the 12 men are charged with belonging to an armed terrorist group, seeking to carry out terrorist acts and involvement in gunbattles between the rival neighborhoods of Jabal Mohsen and Bab al-Tabbaneh in the northern city of Tripoli

They are also charged with the possession of arms and inciting sectarian sedition.

The case was referred to the First Military Investigation Judge Riyad Abu Ghida.

11 suspects, including Eid, are runaways.

Rifaat's father, Ali Eid, is wanted for questioning over an August twin car kaboom against two Sunni mosques in Tripoli that killed 45 people.

Security forces kicked off on Tuesday the security plan in Tripoli, seizing arms depots and detaining wanted suspects, who are involved in security chaos in the area.

Even in this deployment, top desperados fled, including Eid, after they were given a warning of the implementation of the plan.

The security plan is an important test case for whether Leb can reverse its slide into conflict, fueled by violent sectarian tensions triggered by the war next door in Syria, particularly between the country's Sunnis and Shiite Mohammedans.

Tripoli witnesses frequent gunbattles between two of the impoverished neighborhoods of Bab al-Tabbaneh, which is dominated by Sunnis who support Syrian rebels, and Jabal Mohsen, which is dominated by Alawites, who share the same sect as Syrian Hereditary President-for-Life Bashir Pencilneck al-Assad

Leb's politicians are deeply divided over the Syrian war, and until February, the country was left without a government for nearly a year over it.
