إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية W460

The General Security arrested a Lebanese man for confessing to belonging to the al-Qaida-affiliated al-Nusra Front, it said in a statement on Thursday.

The suspect admitted that he was tasked with forming a Nusra Front cell in Lebanon, recruiting members, and facilitating their passage to join the fight in Syria.

He said that he had illegally entered Syria through Turkey, where he pledged his allegiance to the al-Nusra Front's branch in Reef Latakia.

Commander of this branch, a Syrian called Abou Hassan, had tasked the detainee to form the cell in Lebanon.

The suspect added that he had also harbored wounded terrorists and provided them with safe residences, added the General Security statement.

He also facilitated their escape and protected them from detection.

He has since been referred to the concerned judiciary for further investigation.

The various security agencies and the army have for the past months arrested a number of Lebanese and foreign members of terrorist groups.

so he confessed before he got arrested? LOL

As to recruiting terrorists, the shia controlled and managed General Security should look at its own hezbollah that has more than 15,000 recruits fighting in Syria.

These are a few handful of brainwashed idiots who are paid to go to Syria...
It is not the same for Ebola which has become a STATE WITHIN THE STATE. Are you ready to fight the enemy from within????

I make a major difference between my Shia brothers and Ebola. Not all Shia are Ebola members. I am against Ebola because I am against wars which are damaging to our country. Ebola has not understood that we need to be not only friends, but brothers. They are not taking into consideration our need for living together, working together, and being happy together. They are pursuing their own agenda which corresponds to their own interests, not the common interest, not for the common good.
I advocate an economic prosperity for all of us. For that we need stability and security. Happiness is not only a theoretical view, look at Austria, Switzerland, Singapore, Luxembourg....we have one of the most beautiful countries. Guess who is destroying it? WE ARE.
