Qahwaji Says Terror Threat is Serious, Army on Alert to Foil Any
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
Army Commander General Jean Qahwaji stressed that terror threats in Lebanon are serious, and the latest attempted attack the neighborhood of Hamra, came because the Islamic State group is trying to make up for its defeats in the region and has asked its followers to strike back in Lebanon, An Nahar daily reported on Saturday.
The Lebanese Army has been expecting the IS to carry out an attack, because the group has been troubled with defeat in confrontation areas in the region and has therefore turned to the Lebanese arena and asked its followers to carry out attacks here, visitors to Qahwaji quoted him as saying.
He has reportedly told his visitors that the suicide bomb attack foiled by the army at a coffee shop in the upscale Hamra neighborhood in Beirut last week, was carried out by a lone-wolf, Omar al-Assi. The army has been tracking the would-be suicide bomber. Investigations have shown that he received orders from the IS in Syria's Reqqa.
The Army is on full alert in the face of terrorist threats, the General was quoted, as he expressed satisfaction with the “wide” coordination between the Army and the ISF Intelligence Branch which made them capable of foiling the operation in a crucial moment.
Nevertheless, Qahwaji stressed the need for utmost vigilance to counter any future dangers.

A country that sponsors terror, has members of a terror organization committing the worst massacres in modern history as MPs and Ministers in its cabinet, an army that aids and facilitates its terror activities can hardly talk of retaliatory terror threats.

barking, yapping, and being a nuisance are not helping your case. Seek help

ex-fpm wants : a strong army, no militias specially those that openly admit they are an arm of a foreign country, independent foreign policy, unbiased judiciary, equal implementation of the law on all citizens regardless of sect.
flamerotten wants: a weak army surrogate to a sectarian iranian militia, a president forced by the iranian militia, an army that is biased and cannot protect its citizens or borders, a biased foreign policy, corrupt judicial and security systems.
flamerotten considers himself a lebanese patriot and exfpm is an israeli khasbara traitor.

hahahahahahaha!!!!
You are amazing and that's what I and my Nepalese domestic helper love you, just pure love you! Your ability to psycho analyze and pinpoint a khasbara paid professional left them numb, stunned, and confused. They have no answers, no questions to ask, no comebacks except ponder what became of them after reading your report.
I want you to know that you are loved and adored by whoever reads this forum whether they decided to stay in Lebanon or have already left it.

actually I like the style because it shows how the shia iranian evolved over the years from a loser with no life to speak of except breathing to a loser with no life to speak of except breathing.
