Abdullah Azzam Brigades call on Sunnites to defect from LAF

2^min

The Qaeda-linked Abdullah Azzam Brigades warned the Lebanese security apparatuses from continuing their war against Sunnites in Lebanon and arresting their youth, dubbing the apparatuses as direct enemy.

“Any Lebanese security agency that partakes in oppressing the Sunnites in Lebanon and Syria will be our direct enemy,” the brigades said in a statement entitled “a message to the Lebanese people, government and army - 2.”

The statement called on the Sunni soldiers to defect from the Lebanese army and join the ranks of the jihadists, warning them that attacks against the army would target them if they didn't.

The brigades also criticized Hezbollah leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, describing him as the “actual governor in Lebanon.”

The statement noted that Nasrallah “is not concerned with the battle against Israel and claims that the jihadists deployed along the Syrian-Palestinian border are Jewish agents, while Hezbollah is a faithful custodian of the Zionists.”

Hezbollah has sent fighters to battle alongside the Syrian regime troops against rebels seeking to topple President Bashar Assad.

The battle, pitting Sunni-dominated rebels against Assad, has raised sectarian tensions in Lebanon and Lebanese Sunni fighters have also been killed while fighting alongside Syrian rebels.

The brigades also accused Hezbollah of all assassinations that took place in Lebanon since 2005, calling on it to hand over the five suspects to the Special Tribunal for Lebanon.

After the killing of former Prime Minister Rafic Hariri in 2005, assassinations increased in Lebanon with several March 14 figures being targeted.

Five Hezbollah suspects are being tried in absentia by the STL.
