The Daily Star - Warrants issued for ISF members in escapee case - June 09, 2011

BEIRUT: Military Judge Saqr Saqr issued arrest warrants for three members of the Internal Security Forces Wednesday who were accompanying a fugitive when he escaped from the Justice Palace in Adlieh.

Mohammad Nayef Abdullah escaped Tuesday while security personnel were transferring him from the detention center to the criminal court inside the building, where he was expected to be charged with theft and robbery.

An investigation is still under way to discover how Abdullah escaped. Separately, a group of five men escaped the Baabda detention center over the weekend. One of the fugitives was captured Tuesday.
