Assad will not save Lebanon from the takfiris he created. Opposite. He will send them to create strife and put bombs in Lebanon.

Asssad used takfiris throughout the years to weaken Lebanon so he can control it and steal its wealth.

It's the 'rebels' here. Well, the takfiris. At least in this case. And Lebanon is not Syria's backyard.
Anyway, I don't really know how to feel towards this. On one hand they captured a terrorist, on the other hand, they captured a terrorist, you know? There are terrorists everywhere though not quite equally distributed; at least they caught him.
Then again it makes you think what would have happened if a slightly more competent and trained specimen of vermin was sent to terrorize Lebanon since this guy's just a noob, would the security agencies be able to capture him still or would we see another bloodbath with limbs and such everywhere?

the1phoenix, I'm all for quick and swift execution of capital punishment for terrorists who's cases are clear-cut. We never hear of their convictions though, which we should.

Your Hizb terrorists are the ones who imported this strife; it has nothing to do with the legitimate revolution by the people of Syria who want freedom and no more political oppression and economic marginalization based on sectarianism. Otherwise, nobody feels "sad" about the foiling of a terrorist plot. If anybody feels sad it should be because not enough of these terrorist plots are being foiled, and some terrorists in Lebanon are working in broad daylight and with the government and army turning a blind eye on them.

I would have rejoiced if HA allowed complete demarcation and fencing of the border, then we will not be contending with such issues to justify HA arms. I also would have rejoiced if HA gave its arms to the LAF so they can fulfill their duties in protecting all its citizens.
