Mahfoud: Nusra Leader, Al-Talli, Should Have Been Executed on Gallows
Head of the Change Movement Elie Mahfoud on Wednesday said that Nusra Front's leader in the Syrian Qalamoun mountain region Abu Malek al-Talli should have been “executed on gallows” instead of letting him “negotiate” his escape to Syria.
“Abu Malek al-Talli is threatening Lebanon and the Lebanese after he was allowed to flee, which will allow every terrorist from now on to be reassured instead of being hanged on gallows in Arsal's square,” said Mahfoud in a statement.
He added that the “Lebanese authorities should have raised gallows for terrorists since the Nahr al-Bared incidents, especially those who killed Lebanese soldiers. It would have saved many tragedies and devastation.”
Mahfoud's comments came after a swap deal between Hizbullah and Syria's al-Nusra Front group that saw the transfer of al-Talli -in addition to thousands of Nusra militants and their families- from Lebanon's Arsal outskirts to Syria.
The deal included the release of three Hizbullah fighters captured by al-Nusra during their battle against the group last month.
