Saqr Charges 13 with Belonging to Abdullah Azzam Brigades
State Commissioner to the Military Court Judge Saqr Saqr charged on Wednesday 13 people with belonging to the armed terrorist group, the al-Qaida-affiliated Abdullah Azzam Brigades, reported the National News Agency.
Detainee Jamal Daftardar is among those who have been charged.
They were accused of planning to carry out terrorist attacks in Lebanon and recruiting and training individuals ahead of transporting them outside of Lebanon.
Saqr also charged them with forging identification papers, firing rockets towards Israel, and possessing weapons and explosives.
Daftardar was arrested in the western Bekaa region on January 15.
The Abdullah Azzam Brigades claimed responsibility for the November 19 double suicide attack against the Iranian embassy in Beirut.
The brigades have claimed responsibility for attacks throughout the region, including the 2010 bombing of a Japanese oil tanker in the Persian Gulf and firing of several rocket strikes from Lebanon towards Israel.

Let's not focus on HA for this article. They do enough many disagree with and hold them accountable for their wrongdoings when appropriate and relevant. HA is not relevant to what these takfiri did. Let's hold the takfiri responsible and denounce them together. Let's not minimize what they do. They are a threat. Although I no longer trust that HA weapons are for Israel only, I feel that these takfiri, throwing grenades at Churches, burning libraries, and going to Syria to support kidnapping nuns, bishops and desecrate churches...is worse. I understand what the regime has done in Lebanon, and what HA allowed to take place in Lebanon, but I still feel all of these Sunni extremist groups are a bigger threat. And Yes HA makes it worse for these takfiri, not better. It still doesn't make takfiri legit.

zahle as much as i agree with you, there is only this you forget. Hezbollah is actually the only wall between the takfiris and the rest of us. As much as i love our army, it is going to be hard for them to conquer this threat without the help of their allies the resistance forces.

The problem about HA combating the tekfiris is that it's raising the tensions between sunnis/shias, and causing some lebanese sunnis to go to the extreme.
The only solution is to have a strong army where sunnis,shias and christians fight the takfiris together.

and if the army takes on the takfiris, you have rifi and his pets sectarian haters who are going to say the army is oppressing sunnis and whatever... there's no solution that can make everyone happy, so forget that idea. the only real objective here is to wipe them out, whatever is most efficient has my blessing.

The observer, there is sunnis in Hezbollah aswell. It is not an all out Shia group as people in here says. Fact os takfirism is a threat to all Lebanese, all muslims and christians alike, our army already fought the takfiris in Nahr Al Bared, but more than hundred soldiers died during that battle.
