BEIRUT:
Military Prosecutor Saqr Saqr charged Monday Shadi Mawlawi and five other Lebanese
suspects with belonging to an “armed terrorist group.”
Gunbattles
broke out after tension spiked Saturday over the arrest of Mawlawi, an
Islamist, on charges of maintaining ties to a “terrorist group.”
Saqr
charged Mawlawi and the five other unidentified suspects with “belonging to an
armed terrorist organization with the intent to carry out crimes against people
as well as public and private institutions.”
The
suspects were also accused of “undermining sate authority and plotting to carry
out terrorist acts inside and outside of Lebanon.”
They
were referred to Military Investigative Judge Riad Abu Ghida after arrest
warrants were issued against them.
Judicial
sources told The Daily Star that the suspects, including Mawlawi, belong to
Al-Qaeda.
The sources, who spoke on
condition of anonymity, said security services were also pursuing several other
Lebanese and Syrian nationals for belonging to Al-Qaeda.
