Syria-Lebanon-Iran

The Lebanese army has been able to obtain valuable information on the leadership of Fatah al Islam and the whereabouts of their leader Shaker al Absi, according to military sources. The army arrested last Tuesday Mamoud al Saadi, a key member of Fatah al Islam , as he was trying to flee the Nahr el Bared refugee camp. The army learned as a result of the interrogation of Saadi that Shahine Shahine who has assumed the leadership of the terrorist group when Absi was wounded , was killed recently in one of the battles. Absi according to Saadi has since assumed the leadership and was the one responsible for firing the Katyusha rockets with the help of Abu Salim Taha.

Taha was the main contact for the mediators who brokered the deal between the army and the terrorists to evacuate the civilians. According to Saadi two of the buildings of the Nahr el Bared camp have been booby trapped by Fatah al Islam and are set to explode as soon as the army approaches them.

Personally, I'd like to see the tip of a JDAM just above his head.

#2  Since we send them equipment, I'm certain we have people there to give them "pointers" on how to do the really hard stuff. You're right though, they seem to be performing better than I can ever remember in my life.

#1  Am I missing something, or does this Lebanese army seem to be doing an outstanding job? All reports of them, well, seems they are standing strong in this battle. Wonder if they have any "advisors?"
