3 more killed in sectarian fighting in Lebanon’s Tripoli

Share:

At least three people including an Sunni Islamist commander were killed on Friday in a fifth day of sporadic sectarian fighting in Lebanon’s northern city of Tripoli triggered by the conflict in neighbouring Syria.

A Lebanese security source said the situation in Tripoli, where clashes between Sunni Muslims and Alawites have killed 16 people since Monday, was “alarming and dangerous … It is very likely that it will escalate this time”.

Security sources said Sheikh Khaled al-Baradei, 28, a Sunni Islamist, was shot fatally in the neck by a sniper in the early hours on Friday, and two other identified men were killed.

The first security source said at least seven Alawite-owned shops in mainly Sunni districts had been torched. He said 41 people were wounded, including soldiers.

The Lebanese army deployed troops and tanks on Thursday morning to calm the streets and clashes appeared to die down in most areas before flaring again overnight.

Sunni Muslims in Syria form the backbone of the 17-month-old uprising against President Bashar al-Assad, part of the Alawite minority who are an offshoot of Shi’ite Islam. Tripoli’s fighting has been along the same sectarian lines.

Gunmen from Tripoli’s Alawite-populated Jabal Mohsen district have engaged in on-off skirmishes over the past week with Sunni fighters in the Bab al-Tabbaneh area.

The Lebanese government has distanced itself from the unrest in Syria for fear it might spill over because Lebanon’s sectarian divisions are similar and Syria has powerful allies as well as enemies in its smaller neighbour.

Residents say political leaders in Tripoli agreed a ceasefire on Wednesday but sniping by both sides has continued.

Russia said on Friday it was concerned about the violence in Tripoli and called for “all sides to stop forceful action, to keep the ceasefire.”

The Foreign Ministry called for problems to be resolved “constitutionally through a nationwide dialogue”, but said there should be no outside intervention in Lebanese internal affairs.

Syria had far-reaching influence in Lebanon for decades. Assad withdrew Syrian troops from Lebanon in 2005 after 29 years but the powerful Shi’ite Muslim militant group Hezbollah remains one of its strongest allies in the country.

Russia is one of Syria’s main allies and has blocked Western efforts to impose United Nations sanctions on Damascus.

Tensions between Alawites and Sunnis in Tripoli go back to the 1975-90 Lebanese civil war when Alawites sided with the forces of Bashar’s late father, President Hafez al-Assad, against the Sunnis.

    “Sunni Islamist commander ….”  Yes, and could also be Alawite Less-Islamist commander.
    The civil war never really ended. There are many of these ‘street commaders’ and ‘block commanders’ with the stunted thinking left over from those horrible years. They poke a gun around a corner and spray a street with 500 bullets not aimed at anything … which find a few civilians at times, some sitting in their homes watching TV if there’s any electricity.
    At the very least it’s good for the glass manufacturers and cement-wall repairmen, I suppose.
    Burning stores is simply creating mayhem and more hardship for the other citizens.
    Lebanese Refugees from Tripoli are already going to other places furthur south. Only 40 miles by boat to Cyprus.

      If someone had insulted you using foul language, I would have come to your rescue before you even had the time to answer. It was never your political views that I took offense to but the way you put them. The majority of us do not want you to lose but do not want you to dominate. Lebanon is an amalgam of people. I have said it and will say it once more. Lebanon has only a third of its population with a real Arab genetics. The other third are local Canaanites and the rest is of a European gene pool. You will find all types in all religions. I have Christian friends who tested Arabs (J1) and Shiite friends who tested European (R1b). Until you send your blood in to be tested how do you know you are not an Arab? I tested my blood and turned out European. As to my political views, they are really simple. VERY SIMPLE. Lebanon is for the Lebanese under one Lebanese flag. Shame to those who carry ANY other flag. Thank you.

          Of course… My Lebanese opinion as opposed to a Persian one. How could you agree with it? I did not expect any better… 

    3. According to mainstream media (MSM), the capital of Syria is under siege as the CIA-sponsored Free Syrian Army (FSA) conducts house raids and attacks military checkpoints on highways.
      In Turkey, Turkish officials, intelligence agents, military officials, and Hillary Clinton, US Secretary of State, have had an “operational planning meeting” where they are finalizing their schemes to support the FSA in this proxy war to takedown Assad and force a regime change.
      Clinton’s meeting with Ahmet Davutoglu, Turkish Foreign Minister, and members of the FSA was to combine forces to bring about the US/Israeli agenda of forced regime change.
      The global Elite’s plan for Syria involves the US State Department and Clinton having being given control over the region once it is destroyed.
      Amnesty International, the UN-sponsored non-governmental organization (NGO), released a report that states air strikes are endangering civilians. It fails to mention that the FSA are the direct causation of the majority of the civilian casualties.
      Jeffrey Feltman, UN political chief, consulted the UN Security Council about the deteriorating humanitarian situation in Syria. Feltman claims, without proof, that Iran is supplying Syria with intelligence and weapons; yet fails to mention that the CIA are in Turkey, using al-Qaeda to recruit young people who are trained on a US controlled base and shipped over the Syria border to become part of the FSA.
      Members of FSA openly admit they are fighting for al-Qaeda. Abu Khuder, militant in the FSA explains: “We have clear instructions from our [al-Qaeda] leadership that if the FSA need our help we should give it. We help them with IEDs and car bombs. Our main talent is in the bombing operations.”
      Al-Qaeda’s role in FSA is to provide more than leadership, but become psychologically entangled in these young minds so that their mission is not deterred at any cost. The use of religion and discipline are tactics that keep the men in line and ready to kill or be killed for the cause of the US government.
      The Pentagon has devised a contingency plan to send Special Forces troops into Syria under the guise of securing alleged chemical weapons. Officials claim these soldiers will take control of these weapons and prevent them from being used by Assad.
      Experts contend that these chemical weapons can be deployed by aerial bombs, ballistic missiles and artillery rockets. The false accusation of Syrian chemical weapons is the justification Obama will use to attack Syria with or without Congressional approval.
      Because of this covert operation, the White House is keeping their plans secret. According to a senior officer: “We have done contingency planning but we’re not doing detailed planning — identifying numbers [of troops], units and platforms — until the White House tells us we need a specific plan for this.”
      Both chemical and biological weapons are assumed to be in Syrian possession, while no actual proof has been provided by the Obama administration. They continue to suppose that Iraqi chemical weapons mysteriously came into Assad’s hands. This propaganda is based on Israeli intelligence – which is obviously askew since Israel wants to possess Syria for strategic purposes with regard to their future attack on Iran.

      Syria’s appeal to the US and Israel is their position as a strategic military convenience to control Central Asian access to Iranian oil and gas. This is why Syria’s fall is a prelude to military attack of Iran.
      Kris Janssen, journalist for RT explains: “I do believe that the violence we are seeing now has nothing to do with reform, it has to do with the strained people. Also, I am convinced – and I have a lot of testimonies from people in Syria – that a lot of the rebels, the members of Syrian Free Army, as the matter of fact are foreigners. So the violence we are seeing now is not a Syrian product.
      “It is not a coincidence that the trouble started at the border town because this underlines once again the influence from abroad. A lot of outside forces and governments are interested to destroy Syria. Why? Because you have to remember Syria has a very strategic position in the area, in the Middle East, in the region. I think the main target is Iran because Iran is such a powerhouse in the region. It is so strong. They know that to take out Iran, first they have to take out Syria. And I am quite convinced that if they would succeed to destroy Syria the next target would be Hezbollah in Lebanon and once these two allies are taken out, they will concentrate one hundred per cent on Iran.”
      The Syrian National Council (SNC), a front for the global Elite, does not speak about policies and plans for a post-revolution Syria . They focus on the strategic destruction of Syria’s infrastructure without concern for the future of Syrian economics, business or trade.
      Rhetoric includes promises to preserve certain public institutions that will be used to quell the Syrian citizens and control propaganda while Assad’s government is forced to collapse. Under the cover of bringing democracy, the Syrian people will be caught up in the transformation of their country to Zionist control.
      The transition period in Syria, as is envisioned by the SNC, will provide for basic need allocation to the Syrian citizens. However, those institutions facilitating social and educational functions will be allowed to continue. Because there is no plan for the future of Syria after the proxy war has destroyed the sovereign nation, it is clear that the global Elite do not plan for Syria to continue.
      In the MSM, there is a propaganda campaign to bring support for the FSA from the American public.
      The FSA claims that they need more assistance, intelligence and armory from the US to continue their proxy war for Obama and Netanyahu. Clinton has publicly promised non-lethal assistance, while Obama signed secret orders to give the FSA more than just funds for medical supplies and communications technology.
      With the assistance of Saudi Arabia, CIA agents have smuggled an estimated 14 Stinger missiles into Syria for the FSA. Through the CIA-controlled training facility in Turkey, these ground-to-air missiles have been given to the fake revolutionaries to fuel their proxy war in Syria.

      As to your political views I am really confused as to why you have it against ALL humanity… Honestly, the majority of people here are anti-Islamists… If you only bother to really read our blogs… We may be against Assad but like hell we are with the Saudis or the Salafis… We are all for Lebanon a secular free democratic country… We are all for the resistance but we are like hell with a hegemony of one party and its ideology over the nation… Somewhere in the middle we will find the formula for coexistence, get rid of all those politicians and despot leaders and start building Lebanon to its past glory….

      The transition period in Syria, as is envisioned by the SNC, will provide for basic need allocation to the Syrian citizens. However, those institutions facilitating social and educational functions will be allowed to continue. Because there is no plan for the future of Syria after the proxy war has destroyed the sovereign nation, it is clear that the global Elite do not plan for Syria to continue.
      In the MSM, there is a propaganda campaign to bring support for the FSA from the American public.
      The FSA claims that they need more assistance, intelligence and armory from the US to continue their proxy war for Obama and Netanyahu. Clinton has publicly promised non-lethal assistance, while Obama signed secret orders to give the FSA more than just funds for medical supplies and communications technology.
      With the assistance of Saudi Arabia, CIA agents have smuggled an estimated 14 Stinger missiles into Syria for the FSA. Through the CIA-controlled training facility in Turkey, these ground-to-air missiles have been given to the fake revolutionaries to fuel their proxy war in Syria.

          You really shouldnt talk to me in that way, next time i call my daddy mr. mahmud and tell him to nuke you

    2. If someone had insulted you using foul language, I would have come to your rescue before you even had the time to answer. It was never your political views that I took offense to but the way you put them. The majority of us do not want you to lose but do not want you to dominate. Lebanon is an amalgam of people. I have said it and will say it once more. Lebanon has only a third of its population with a real Arab genetics. The other third are local Canaanites and the rest is of a European gene pool. You will find all types in all religions. I have Christian friends who tested Arabs (J1) and Shiite friends who tested European (R1b). Until you send your blood in to be tested how do you know you are not an Arab? I tested my blood and turned out European. As to my political views, they are really simple. VERY SIMPLE. Lebanon is for the Lebanese under one Lebanese flag. Shame to those who carry ANY other flag. Thank you.

        1. Of course… My Lebanese opinion as opposed to a Persian one. How could you agree with it? I did not expect any better… 

    3. According to mainstream media (MSM), the capital of Syria is under siege as the CIA-sponsored Free Syrian Army (FSA) conducts house raids and attacks military checkpoints on highways.
      In Turkey, Turkish officials, intelligence agents, military officials, and Hillary Clinton, US Secretary of State, have had an “operational planning meeting” where they are finalizing their schemes to support the FSA in this proxy war to takedown Assad and force a regime change.
      Clinton’s meeting with Ahmet Davutoglu, Turkish Foreign Minister, and members of the FSA was to combine forces to bring about the US/Israeli agenda of forced regime change.
      The global Elite’s plan for Syria involves the US State Department and Clinton having being given control over the region once it is destroyed.
      Amnesty International, the UN-sponsored non-governmental organization (NGO), released a report that states air strikes are endangering civilians. It fails to mention that the FSA are the direct causation of the majority of the civilian casualties.
      Jeffrey Feltman, UN political chief, consulted the UN Security Council about the deteriorating humanitarian situation in Syria. Feltman claims, without proof, that Iran is supplying Syria with intelligence and weapons; yet fails to mention that the CIA are in Turkey, using al-Qaeda to recruit young people who are trained on a US controlled base and shipped over the Syria border to become part of the FSA.
      Members of FSA openly admit they are fighting for al-Qaeda. Abu Khuder, militant in the FSA explains: “We have clear instructions from our [al-Qaeda] leadership that if the FSA need our help we should give it. We help them with IEDs and car bombs. Our main talent is in the bombing operations.”
      Al-Qaeda’s role in FSA is to provide more than leadership, but become psychologically entangled in these young minds so that their mission is not deterred at any cost. The use of religion and discipline are tactics that keep the men in line and ready to kill or be killed for the cause of the US government.
      The Pentagon has devised a contingency plan to send Special Forces troops into Syria under the guise of securing alleged chemical weapons. Officials claim these soldiers will take control of these weapons and prevent them from being used by Assad.
      Experts contend that these chemical weapons can be deployed by aerial bombs, ballistic missiles and artillery rockets. The false accusation of Syrian chemical weapons is the justification Obama will use to attack Syria with or without Congressional approval.
      Because of this covert operation, the White House is keeping their plans secret. According to a senior officer: “We have done contingency planning but we’re not doing detailed planning — identifying numbers [of troops], units and platforms — until the White House tells us we need a specific plan for this.”
      Both chemical and biological weapons are assumed to be in Syrian possession, while no actual proof has been provided by the Obama administration. They continue to suppose that Iraqi chemical weapons mysteriously came into Assad’s hands. This propaganda is based on Israeli intelligence – which is obviously askew since Israel wants to possess Syria for strategic purposes with regard to their future attack on Iran.

      Syria’s appeal to the US and Israel is their position as a strategic military convenience to control Central Asian access to Iranian oil and gas. This is why Syria’s fall is a prelude to military attack of Iran.
      Kris Janssen, journalist for RT explains: “I do believe that the violence we are seeing now has nothing to do with reform, it has to do with the strained people. Also, I am convinced – and I have a lot of testimonies from people in Syria – that a lot of the rebels, the members of Syrian Free Army, as the matter of fact are foreigners. So the violence we are seeing now is not a Syrian product.
      “It is not a coincidence that the trouble started at the border town because this underlines once again the influence from abroad. A lot of outside forces and governments are interested to destroy Syria. Why? Because you have to remember Syria has a very strategic position in the area, in the Middle East, in the region. I think the main target is Iran because Iran is such a powerhouse in the region. It is so strong. They know that to take out Iran, first they have to take out Syria. And I am quite convinced that if they would succeed to destroy Syria the next target would be Hezbollah in Lebanon and once these two allies are taken out, they will concentrate one hundred per cent on Iran.”
      The Syrian National Council (SNC), a front for the global Elite, does not speak about policies and plans for a post-revolution Syria . They focus on the strategic destruction of Syria’s infrastructure without concern for the future of Syrian economics, business or trade.
      Rhetoric includes promises to preserve certain public institutions that will be used to quell the Syrian citizens and control propaganda while Assad’s government is forced to collapse. Under the cover of bringing democracy, the Syrian people will be caught up in the transformation of their country to Zionist control.
      The transition period in Syria, as is envisioned by the SNC, will provide for basic need allocation to the Syrian citizens. However, those institutions facilitating social and educational functions will be allowed to continue.

      Do not let the door hit you as you leave Mr. Cancer… But I have serious doubt you will totally disappear… You will be back with your poison soon enough.
      As to your political views I am really confused as to why you have it against ALL humanity… Honestly, the majority of people here are anti-Islamists… If you only bother to really read our blogs… We may be against Assad but like hell we are with the Saudis or the Salafis… We are all for Lebanon a secular free democratic country… We are all for the resistance but we are like hell with a hegemony of one party and its ideology over the nation… Somewhere in the middle we will find the formula for coexistence, get rid of all those politicians and despot leaders and start building Lebanon to its past glory…. Long live Lebanon 7urran Abiyyan Moustaqillan…

    A city on fire … blow up and tear down the walls.
    Meanwhile in Tripoli Libya, hardline Wahhabi Islamists and a bunch of Salafists with bulldozers are trying to ‘deconstruct’ ancient shrines and mosques – just like the Ansar Dine in Timbuktu, Mali.
    Soon, while holding hands with Talibanis I suppose, they will happily have us all living in tents on a flat wasteland kissing the crushed cement of the cities 5 times a day.
    Just so you don’t think the ‘sister-city’ across the Med is much different with the religious stupidity ….
