Agents in Lebanon arrest 19 involved in shooting

Beirut, Oct 16 (Prensa Latina) Lebanese security agents arrested 19 involved in the shooting in Tayouneh, Beirut, according to a report released by the Al-Manar TV channel.

After analyzing camera footage and questioning witnesses, the security services carried out a raid that led to the capture of individuals suspected of participating in the attack.

The interim judge Fadi Akiki supervised the operations and demanded that the corresponding forces resort to all resources to imprison the guilty.

Akiki requested that the State Security, the police and Internal Security conduct an exhaustive review of the footage captured by surveillance cameras and intel in order to arrest the culprits.

Last Thursday, snipers fired at a march organized by the Amal and Hizbullah movement calling for the replacement of the judge in charge of the investigation into the explosion in the port last year.

Seven people died and several dozen were wounded as a result of the shooting, and the Army cordoned off the area with heavy vehicles and troops.

For several hours there was an exchange of fire that turned the area into a battlefield similar to the city battles of the 1975-1990 conflict.
