Now Lebanon - Military court sentences 32 to jail for collaborating with Israel, says AFP - October 27, 2010

A military court on Wednesday sentenced to 15 years in prison 31 Lebanese citizens and a Palestinian for collaborating with Israel and acquiring Israeli citizenship, AFP reported a judicial source as saying.All 32, including a dozen women, were sentenced in absentia since all had left Lebanon for Israel in 2000 when the Jewish state evacuated all its troops from the country ending a 22-year occupation, the source said.There were no further details and it was not clear if those sentenced were charged with collaborating with Israel during its occupation of Lebanon.More than 100 people have been arrested on suspicion of espionage since April 2009, including telecom employees, members of the security forces and active duty troops.Five of those tried have been sentenced to death for spying for Israel's Mossad overseas intelligence service.
