[AnNahar] Two Syrians were juggedYouse'll never take me alive coppers!... [BANG!]... Ow!... I quit! in the eastern Bekaa region for belonging to a terrorist group, reported the National News Agency. It said that the Army Intelligence arrested them in al-Labweh for being affiliated to the al-Nusra ...the current nom de guerre of al-Qaeda in the Levant, which isn't to be confused with al-Qaeda in Iraq and the Levant... Front. The detainees have been identified as Mohammed Idris and Abdul Muhaymen al-Abed. The army has in recent months arrested scores of suspected faceless myrmidons linked to the Syrian conflict. The al-Nusra ...formally Jabhat an-Nusrah li-Ahli sh-Sham (Support Front for the People of the Levant), also known as al-Qaeda in the Levant. They aim to establish a pan-Arab caliphate. Not the same one as the Islamic State, though .. ... Front, completely unknown before the rebellion in Syria that began two years ago, has been a rebel standard-bearer since mid-2012 when it became the spearhead of the insurgency ahead of the Free Syrian Army ... the more palatable version of the Syrian insurgency, heavily influenced by the Moslem Brüderbund... The organization has been blacklisted in December by the United States as a "terrorist" organization and makes no secret of its aim for Syria to become an Islamist state. The jihadists remain entrenched on the outskirts of the northeastern town of Arsal on the porous Syrian-Lebanese border. The mountainous area along the Lebanese-Syrian border has long been a smuggling haven, with multiple routes into Syria that have been used to transport weapons and fighters. |
