| [AnNahar] State Commissioner to the Military Court Judge Saqr Saqr on Wednesday ordered convicting 21 people in the case of the double blast that targeted two mosques in the northern city of Tripoli ...a confusing city, one end of which is located in Lebanon and the other end of which is the capital of Libya. Its chief distinction is being mentioned in the Marine Hymn... last summer. Among the convicted were Arab Democratic Party leader Ali Eid and the head of the pro-Syria Islamic Tawhid Movement-Command Council ...The Tawhid party is divided into two parts, one led by Sheikh Bilal Shaaban, a close ally of Hezbollah who is said to be financed by Iran, while the other is headed by Sheikh Hashem Minkara, a staunch Syria supporter... , Sheikh Hashem Minkara. The state-run National News Agency said Saqr conducted a first assessment in the mosques' bombing case, and ordered the conviction of several people. "He charged 10 with terrorism, involvement in the crime, killing, incitement and sabotage," the NNA detailed. He also ordered convicting 6 people on terror charges, and of being involved in the crime. "Judge Saqr ordered the conviction of 4 others, among them Eid, on charges of smuggling suspects," the same source added. Meanwhile, ...back at the comedy club, Boogie ducked another tomato... Minkara was accused of concealing information about the mosques' kaboom. Saqr referred the 21-name list name to First Military Investigation Judge Riyad Abu Ghida, who will issue the convictions, the NNA remarked. On Monday, Abou Ghida issued an arrest warrant in absentia for Eid. The warrant was based on the content of the lawsuit that was filed against him by the military prosecution in connection with the alleged smuggling of suspects wanted over the twin bombings that hit al-Taqwa and al-Salam mosques in Tripoli last summer. Abu Ghida had issued a subpoena to Eid to testify before interrogators in November 2013. The judge also issued arrest warrants for two suspects who are in jug -- Eid's personal driver Ahmed Ali and Shehadeh Shannoud, who is accused of smuggling Syrian woman Sukaina Ismail into Syria. The woman is accused of driving the two cars that were used in the bombings from Syria into Leb. On August 23, two boom-mobiles went kaboom!outside the al-Taqwa and al-Salam mosques in Tripoli, leaving 45 people dead and more than 800 injured according to an unofficial toll. |
