Lebanese army confiscates drone taken to Syrian militants

Lebanese army in arsalThe Lebanese army says troops have confiscated a drone in the eastern Bekaa Valley as it was being taken to insurgents on the Syrian side of the border.

The army said Wednesday the Flying Cam drone was to be used for spying on Lebanese army positions. It added that an investigation has begun to know where the drone came from.

In August, Islamic militants crossed from Syria into the Lebanese border town of Arsal, capturing more than 20 Lebanese soldiers and police officers. The militants have killed four of them.

Since then, it has been common for the Lebanese army to shell militant positions on the Lebanon-Syria border.

The army said companies that sell such drones should know the identity of the buyers and what will they use it for.

      A top Pakistani model Ayaan Ali was freed from a high-security jail near the capital Thursday, four months after she was caught trying to fly to Dubai with half a million dollars in cash stashed in her luggage, a defense lawyer said.
      Ali, 21, has been in the government custody since March when authorities nabbed her at the VIP lounge of Islamabad’s airport.

        Well, if one needs an apartment in Dubai, after all …
        Couple of younger Chinese ladies opened a suitcase-full here, with about as much, for a friend who was selling his Condo. He almost had a heart attack.
        ‘We come, we look, we like, we buy … Is ok.’ …hohoho. Seemed simple. :-)))

    It is very difficult for a Muslim especially in a Muslim majority country who wants to leave Islam as he/she will be killed if other Muslims become aware of their intention. But there is a hope. By adapting the Sanatana way of life they can overcome their dilemma as by adapting the Sanatana way of life they need not change their name, diet, customs or undergo purification ceremonies; or say prayer in an alien language
    or visit places of worship; all these which attract the attention of their neighbours. See http://sanatanaparishad.blogspot.in

    On the other hand Hezb, a local terrorist group, uses drones to spy on Syria, interfering in their civil war.

      Spy on Syria, lol. Or maybe they’re tracking your terrorist buddies as they approach the Lebanese border like an invading swarm of rats. They have been protecting border communities by monitoring terrorist movements.

    After a break of three weeks restored water and electricity supply in Aleppo. This was the result of an agreement between the government and the local branch of the group “al-Qaeda” – “Al-Nusra Front.”
    Part of the city controlled by Islamists, and another part – by forces loyal to President Bashar Assad. Supporters of the regime controlling the power supply cut off electricity in the areas “Al-Nusra Front.” In response jihadists, controlling water-pumping station, left without running water areas dominated by Bashar al-Assad.
    Director
    of the station, an activist of the “Front”, sent a
    letter to supporters of Assad in which he expressed his readiness to restore the water supply –
    in exchange for electricity. He also urged the International Red Crescent Society to provide the station with diesel fuel for generators
