Roads leading to An-Nour Square were reopened on
Wednesday amid continued protests and shortly after an agreement to a second
interrogation with Shadi Mawlawi on Thursday was reached between Interior
Minister Marwan Charbel, Islamic committees and committee for Islamist detainees.
Tension eased on Wednesday afternoon after
violence reemerged earlier in the day, resulting in several injuries, including
one soldier.
The soldier
was injured in Bab el-Tebbaneh as the LAF returned fire and pursued the
shooters.
The Army Command announced that it managed to arrest
a number of armed men and seize their arms and ammunition.
Earlier in
the day, LBCI cameras showed the absence of gunmen in the streets of Bab
al-Tebbaneh, Jabal Mohsen and al-Qobba. It also showed a handful of residents
removing rubble from the streets, while most shops are still closed, especially
near Syria Street.
Following
the meeting of the Secondary Security Council in Tripoli, Interior Minister
Marwan Charbel confirmed that the state will soon settle the issue of Islamist
detainees and other prisoners in the Roumieh prison, adding that the Islamist
detainees found innocent will be released.
