Beirut Examining Magistrate Ghassan Owaidat recommended on
Thursday the death penalty for 88 individuals who were involved in the 2007
Nahr al-Bared clashes with the Lebanese army.
The suspects were accused in the 447-page indictment of murder and
attempted killing and of targeting state security by funding and carrying out
terrorist acts.
The indictment was issued five years after the end of the
gunbattles between the army and Fatah al-Islam terrorists at the northern
Palestinian camp of Nahr al-Bared that left some 400 people, including 168
soldiers, dead.
On Monday, Owaidat approved the release on bail of four
Palestinians arrested over the clashes.
Last month, nine other Islamists were discharged from Roumieh
prison.
