2010-11-19 |
[An Nahar] Islamist inmates rioted in Roumieh prison on Thursday, according to New TV. It reported that the riot was instigated by a holy man upon which the prisoners started calling for jihad. Sources told New TV that "until now, the situation was under control, but there are fears that there can be no backing down from the call for jihad." Meanwhile, ...back at the ranch... MTV reported that the riot took place as inmates were being transported from one section of the jail to another, adding that the situation was under control of the security forces. The riot erupted shortly after some inmates managed to escape from Roumieh earlier this week. |
