| [AnNahar] Sheikh Wissam al-Masri announced Tuesday after a brief visit to Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allaharound with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not reallyMoslems.... gunnies in Arsal's outskirts that the group is demanding a border ?buffer zone? to ?protect? Syrian refugees in the area as well as a ?hospital? for treating the maimed and the release of women prisoners from Lebanese jails. ?I met with the Islamic State officials in charge of the file of captives,? Masri said at the Riad al-Solh Square after meeting the families of the Lebanese servicemen held by the IS and the Qaeda-linked al-Nusra ...the current nom de guerre of al-Qaeda in the Levant, which isn't to be confused with al-Qaeda in Iraq and the Levant... Front. They demanded ?protecting Syrian refugees from Hizbullah ... Party of God, a Leb militia inspired, founded, funded and directed by Iran. Hizbullah refers to itself as The Resistanceand purports to defend Leb against Israel, with whom it has started and lost one disastrous war to date, though it did claim victory... 's recurrent attacks against them in Leb through the creation of a buffer zone stretching from Wadi Hmeid to Tufail's outskirts to Arsal,? Masri added. On Saturday, the Lebanese army took a decision prohibiting anyone from moving from the Bekaa border town of Arsal to its mountainous outskirts without prior permission from the military institutions. The new measures are aimed at preventing Syria-based gunnies from infiltrating Leb's border, according to an army statement. The second demand is ?providing equipment for a modern hospital along with a complete medicines storehouse for the treatment of the maimed and the sick,? said Masri, adding that the IS also wants Lebanese authorities to release from jail ?all women held in connection with the Syrian conflict.? The holy man also revealed that he has received a pledge from the holy warrior group that it would ?refrain from killing or harming any serviceman as long as the negotiations are underway.? ?Any closure of the Wadi Hmeid checkpoint would subject the servicemen to death,? he warned, quoting the IS holy warriors. The Lebanese troops and soldiers were taken hostage during deadly festivities in and around Arsal in early August. ?The Islamic State is demanding the immediate release of Saja (al-Dulaimi) and Ola (al-Oqaili),? Masri added. Dulaimi is a divorcee of IS chief His Supreme Immensity, Caliph of the Faithful and Galactic Overlord, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi ...formerly merely the head of ISIL and a veteran of the Bagram jailhouse. Looks like a new messiah to bajillions of Moslems, like just another dead-eyed mass murder to the rest of us... , according to Interior Minister Nouhad al-Mashnouq. She was incarcerated Don't shoot, coppers! I'm comin' out! at the army's al-Madfoun checkpoint in the North in recent weeks. Al-Oqaili has been meanwhile identified as the wife of top Islamist holy warrior Abu Ali al-Shishani. She was referred to the General Security department on December 9, according to Mashnouq. ?The battle is not with the Lebanese army and government but rather with the party (Hizbullah) that is killing their children and women,? Masri quoted the IS as saying. Meanwhile, ...back at the pound, the little lost dog had finished eating the rat terrier... the families of the servicemen did not seem to be very upbeat regarding Masri's announcement. ?We call on the Islamic State to issue an official statement containing the name of the person it wants to mediate in the case of the servicemen, whether he is al-Masri or (Ahmed) Fleiti,? the deputy municipal chief of Arsal, a front man for the families said. ?The families feel lost and confused and we want al-Masri or other mediators to be officially authorized ? We want to know whom we're dealing with and we strongly wish the captives will be released at the hands of Sheikh al-Masri,? the front man, Sheikh Omar Haidar, added. ?The families do not have confidence in anyone anymore and we want official demands from the Islamic State,? he went on to say. |
