Lebanon Arrests Two Clerics In Terror Bombings

Revelation 6:3-4 NCV When the Lamb opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature say, "Come!" Then another horse came out, a red one. Its rider was given power to take away peace (prosperity, rest) from the earth and to make people kill each other (butcher, slaughter, to maim violently, in streets), and he was given a big sword (assassins sword, terrorist, loud, mighty, sore afraid).

Two Islamic clerics have been arrested in connection with bombing in Tripoli last week that killed 42 people and wounded hundreds.

Sheikhs Hashem Minkara and Ahmad Gharib were arrested with three other men and charged with forming a terror cell to attack government buildings. The clerks are believed to have close ties to a Sunni group in Syria.

The blasts are the deadliest in Lebanon since the end of the 1990 civil war. Over 400 people were injured when the bombs exploded just after the end of Friday prayers on August 23rd.

Two Syrians, including an Army officer, have been charged with planting the bombs outside two mosques although the men are believed to have fled back to Syria.

The mosques are reportedly home to two preachers who have opposed the Syrian government and their ally in Lebanon, Hezbollah.
