Ghosn: It's Our Duty to Expose Extremists, Qaida Infiltration
Defense Minister Fayez Ghosn on Tuesday said the army has “clear information” about the presence of al-Qaida members in the Bekaa border town of Arsal, noting that “the army raided Arsal in search of Hamza Qarqouz,” who is believed to be an al-Qaida militant who had fled from Syria to Lebanon.
In an interview on OTV, Ghosn added: “It is our duty as politicians and officials to announce that there is an infiltration by some extremists, including al-Qaida members, through the borders, and it is our duty not to conceal things.”
“I said in cabinet that there is information about an infiltration of terrorists through illegal border crossings, including Arsal’s, and the town of Arsal was not directly accused of that,” Ghosn said, noting that “the president and premier are aware of this information.”
Hitting back at former premier Saad Hariri, the minister said: “We are not the shabiha (militiamen) of the Syrian regime and we’re not in anyone’s service.”
“I’m an Arab minister and, first and foremost, the defense minister of Lebanon. I’m entrusted with the military institution and I do not make mistakes in such critical issues,” Ghosn added.

The people hate them and reject them. Why don't you do something???

"there is information about an infiltration of terrorists"
Yep the information was given to you by the Syrian misinformation department so they can use your statements to point the fingers o9f blame in the Damascus bombings two days later. In your incompetence you read the statement wrong saying they came from Syria not went to Syria like you were told to say.
I think the Syrian misinformation department sorely misses the competence of a Adnan Addoum or a Jamil al Sayyed who for years were the perfect mouthpieces to disseminate Syrian misinformation from the Saydet Al Najat terrorist explosion all the way to the Abou Addas video tape fiasco.

al-Qaida exists in the mind of Ghosn like "armed gangs" esists in the mind of ASSad. They never show proof.....they just keep saying it as if it will be eventually believed.
These guys are getting desperate. Their lies and killing do not work and they don't know what else to do but continue doing what does not work. This is the definition of insanity.

This guy is a total ASSad A$$ licker. Tyring to continue the fake premise they have been deluded into believing. First there were "armed gangs" that didn't exist. No we are to believe the army chased one guy who was an Al-Quaeda cell. I suppose he drove the two cars to Damascus.
If he is the defense minister and so proud, let nim put the army in the north to protect the Lebanese from the Syrian army.
