Top Tripoli Gunman Released from Jail after Serving Sentence

W300

Top gunman in Tripoli's Bab al-Tabbaneh neighborhood, Ziad Allouki, was released from jail on Friday after serving his sentence, media reports said.

Allouki had turned himself in to the military intelligence in 2014 along with other leaders of armed fighters in the northern city of Tripoli.

He was charged with threatening an army soldier with a weapon in 2013, and was sentenced to three years in prison.

Allouki arrived at Tripoli late during the day where crowds of people gathered to greet him. He said: “As long as the security forces are present in Tripoli there is no need to take up arms anymore.”

Tripoli had previously witnessed several rounds of deadly gunbattles between the rival neighborhoods of Bab al-Tabbaneh and Jabal Mohsen.

Allouki was the so-called leader of the Souk al-Qameh fighting frontier in Bab al-Tabbaneh .

But when a strict, unprecedented security plan got underway in the city, he went into hiding and decided afterward to turn himself over to the authorities.

How many years in jail did the terrorist from the iranian militia get after he killed Major Samer Hanna of the Lebanese Air Force in cold blood? Six months in private detention and was visited by hezbollah officials on a daily basis.

Nassrallah has killed and is killing as we speak women and children in Syria and Lebanon and he is still free.

OMG ! OMG ! OMG!

Even on an article regarding a gunman released from jail, I find you @mowaten spamming, trolling, and terrorizing other posters. What kind of person are you? New evidence surfaces by the minute that you are a paid poster but the question remains who pays you and for what exact purpose? Is it the Iranian embassy, is it the revolutionary guard, is it the syrian intelligence or the ex-KGB? These questions must be answered by you and NOW!

General Rifi has no authority or jurisdiction over any judge or judges let alone the Military Court. The same Military Court that released Smaha and people of your kind applauded the verdict.

Your sectarian hatred is obvious to all so go spill it on Manar or Mayadeen.
