| [AnNahar] The Lebanese army on Saturday shot up gunnies in the outskirts of the Bekaa town of Arsal which borders Syria, according to media reports. “The army opened fire from its posts in Wadi Hmeid and al-Masyadeh after detecting movements by gunnies in Arsal's outskirts,” LBCI TV reported. Meanwhile, ...back at the desert island, Bert was realizing to his horror that he'd had only one bottle for one message, and he'd forgotten to include a return address... Voice of Leb radio (93.3) said the army “targeted movements by gunnies in Wadi Hmeid and al-Masyadeh, repelling an infiltration attempt into the town of Arsal.” For its part, state-run National News Agency reported a “clash” between the army and gunnies in Arsal's outskirts. Jihadists from al-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 and the 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.... group overran Arsal in August, killing and capturing scores of soldiers and police. They later executed three of the hostages. The festivities were sparked by the arrest of top Islamist holy warrior Imad Jomaa in Arsal. The Nusra and IS jihadists are reportedly seeking to find a safe passage from the mountains on the Lebanese-Syrian border to the heart of the town of Arsal. As Safir daily quoted informed sources as saying that the holy warriors, who have been besieged in the area after the army blocked all dirt roads on the town's outskirts, are seeking the passage to guarantee their supply of food and oil. A security source confirmed to the newspaper that the army had isolated Arsal's outskirts from the town. Approving the safe passage would mean opening the road for the terrorist groups to occupy Arsal again, the source warned. The army on Friday defused an bomb weighing around 50 kilograms in Arsal's Ras al-Sarj area. |
