The Daily Star - ISF arrests notorious criminal in south - September 08, 2011


SIDON, Lebanon: A notorious criminal with more than 20 warrants against him was arrested by the Internal Security Forces earlier this week, a security source told the Daily Star Wednesday.
According to the source, the ISF arrested the criminal fugitive, identified as Ali A., in the southern town of Iqlim Tuffah in Ain Qana after a long chase. The source also said that some of Ali A.’s 20 arrest warrants carried charges of theft and drug trafficking.
The source added that the operation to arrest Ali A. nearly became a wider conflict, as the fugitive sought protection from the town’s residents.
“The operation to arrest Ali A. was about to become a confrontation between the residents and the ISF because many had gathered at the place of the operation as the ISF tried to apprehend the wanted individual,” said the security source.
“After firing rounds of shots in the air, the ISF dispersed the residents and arrested him,” the source added.
