Lebanon lawmakers underscore need to proceed with Tripoli's security plan

2^min

A meeting was held on Saturday at the residence of MP Mohammad Kabbara in the presence of MPs Ahmad Karami, Samir al-Jisr and Badr Wannous.

The officials highlighted the need to proceed with the security plan that has been launched in Lebanon's northern city of Tripoli.

The attendees also urged all parties to support the government as well as the military and security institutions and grant them full confidence in a bid to "save the country and ward off the specter of terrorism".

In April, army troops started implementing, in cooperation with the security apparatuses, a security plan in the northern city of Tripoli.

This comes after the cabinet tasked the army and security forces with controlling the security situation in Tripoli and the eastern Bekaa Valley in areas bordering Syria.

Disputes from neighboring Syria's civil war frequently inflame sectarian grievances in Tripoli.

These clashes pit gunmen from both the mostly Sunni Bab Tabbaneh district that supports the uprising in Syria, and the Jabal Mohsen district which mostly comprises residents of Syrian President Bashar Assad's Alawite sect, a Shiite Islam offshoot.
