Militant mastermind takes last flying carpet to Damascus
2007-06-06
"Ma, don't wait up! I have to go away for a while. Give Allan my regards!"
Damascus, 5 June (AKI) -A man Lebanese authorities believe to be the mastermind in a series of attacks allegedly carried out by the militant Palestinian group Fatah al-Islam has fled Lebanon and is now in Syria, according to to a Lond-based pan-Arab newspaper.
"Curly-toed track shoes, don't fail me now!"
Lebanese judicial sources cited by the daily al-Sharq al-Awsat said the man, described as a young Lebanese, but not identified by name, plotted several attacks on military and tourist targets. The sources also said they believe he received instructions from abroad.

The man also planned the recent clashes between the Lebanese army and Fatah al-Islam fighters based in the Palestinian refugee camp of Nahr al-Bared in northern Lebanon, according to information provided by several Fatah al-Islam fighters captured in the fighting.

According to al-Sharq al-Awsat, four Saudi Arabians allegedly linked to Fatah al-Islami were arrested in Lebanon where they were apparently involved in training the militants based there.

#2  Is this the guy who said he'd kill anyone that tried to surrender?

#1  Yet another outrageous prevarication on the part of the current so-called war-mongering administration - and its every counterpart in the West - is to allow State-actors to get away with funding, arming and providing sanctuary to these evil b*stards. The modicum of spine we showed after 9/11 sent them all scurrying for their nests but years of allowing Syria and Iran and the rest to do as they please have removed all deterrence. I still think with contempt on the Royal Navy's recent performance in the Gulf.
