Judge Saqr files terror charges against detainee Ahmad Mikati and 17 others
State Commissioner to the Military Court Judge Saqr Saqr filed on Thursday terror charges against detainee Ahmed Mikati and 17 others.

The state-run national News Agency reported that the military judiciary received the detainee Ahmad Salim Mikati, 46, who is one of the top cadres of the ISIL (Islamic State) group.

Mikati, alongside Fayez Othman, Ahmed al-Ahmed and 15 others were charged with "belonging to a terrorist group with the aim of carrying out terror acts."

The charges also included "the formation of armed groups, recruiting individuals, training on the use of weapons and explosives, and plotting to overrun the Dinniyeh region villages of Asoun, Bakhoun, Bqaa Safrine and Sir al-Dinniyeh with the aim of creating an IS emirate."

Mikati was also accused of “participating in operations against the Lebanese army, inciting the murder of its troops, stirring sectarian sedition and possessing weapons and explosives.”

The agency noted that some of the charges are punishable by death.

Mikati was referred to First Military Examining Judge Riad Abou Ghayda.

Mikati was arrested on Thursday at dawn in the Dinniyeh town of Asoun following an army raid on an apartment that he and several armed men had been residing in for a number of days. Three gunmen were killed during the operation, including defected soldier Abdel Kader Akkoumi.

His confessions came in the aftermath of fierce clashes that took place in Tripoli's old markets on Friday over a false rumor alleging that Mikati had died during interrogation.

The clashes spread to the Tripoli neighborhood of Bab al-Tabbaneh, where a group loyal to Shadi al-Mawlawi and Osama Mansour was located, and to the nearby region of Akkar where Sheikh Khaled Hoblos led an armed attack against the army.
