Lebanon’s Army Takes Suspicious Telecom Building http://www.islamidavet.com/english/2011/05/28/lebanons-army-takes-suspicious-telecom-building/

The Lebanese Army has taken control of a Telecommunications Ministry building, a day after some 400 heavily-equipped members of the Lebanese police force raided the facility.“A Lebanese Army unit took control of securing the second floor of the telecoms building in Beirut’s Adlieh district and imposing security in the area,” the Daily Star reported a statement released by the army command on Friday. 

According to Major General Ashraf Rifi from Lebanon’s police force — also known as the Internal Security Forces (ISF) — an “agreement” was reached for the transfer of control.On Thursday, ISF’s Information Branch, which operates under Rifi, stirred nationwide controversy after it stopped Telecoms Minister Charbel Nahhas from entering the Adlieh telecoms building.

Lebanon’s Telecommunication Ministry is one of the country’s most sensitive departments. Since 2009, Lebanon has launched a nationwide crackdown on Israeli spy cells, arresting over 100 people, including members of security forces and telecommunications personnel, on suspicion of spying for Israel’s spy agency of Mossad. A number of the suspects have admitted to their roles in helping Israel identify targets inside Lebanon, mostly belonging to Lebanon’s resistance force, Hezbollah, which Tel Aviv heavily bombed during its 2006 war against the country.
