Army Says Foiled 'Series of Suicide Attacks' after Jabal Mohsen Blasts
2015-01-16
[AnNahar]. The army revealed Thursday that its Intelligence Directorate had thwarted a plot to carry out a series of suicide kabooms in the wake of the deadly twin bombing that rocked 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...
's Jabal Mohsen.

Military intelligence agents jugged
Drop the heater, Studs, or you're hist'try!
Bassam Hussam al-Naboush, Elie Tony al-Warraq, aka Abou Ali, and Syrian national Muhannad Ali Mohammed Abdul Qader, who were plotting to carry out terrorist operations against army posts and residential neighborhoods, the Army Command said in a statement.

They were moving around the country with fake Syrian and Paleostinian IDs, the army added.

Investigations revealed that they were affiliated with the group led by the runaways Osama Mansour and Shadi al-Mawlawi, the army said.

The charges also involve pledging allegiance to terrorist groups, taking part in combat in Syria, attacking the (Lebanese) army, and participating in the festivities between the Jabal Mohsen and Bab al-Tabbaneh districts.

The interrogation of the detainees is underway under the supervision of the relevant judicial authorities, while the rest of the group's members are being pursued, the army added.

Mansour, Mawlawi and their gunnies fought unprecedented festivities against the army in Tripoli's old souks and Bab al-Tabbaneh on October 24 and 25. The battles also spread to the nearby northern regions of Bhannine and al-Mhammara.

The Islamist duo went into hiding as the army seized control of the aforementioned areas.

On Saturday, two jacket wallahs who hail from Tripoli's al-Mankoubeen targeted a packed cafe in Jabal Mohsen, killing nine and wounding 37 others.
