NNA - Interior and Municipalities Minister, Marwan Charbel, confirmed on Monday that those involved in yesterday's attack against the two Sunni Sheikhs have been arrested, thanks to Amal Movement and Hezbollah's cooperation.
"We have cut off the head of the snake, but not its tail," Charbel said following a meeting at Dar Al-Fatwa, which witnessed the attendance of Sheikh Mohammad Rachid Qabbani, Defense Minister Fayez Ghosn, General Prosecutor, Hatem Madi, and other dignitaries.
"Ten individuals have been arrested for investigations," the Minister added, lauding the Lebanese judiciary which is "burning the candle at both ends over this matter."
Moreover, Charbel heaped praise on the Security Forces and the Lebanese Army. He also hailed the Mufti's pacifying rhetoric, which majorly contributed to thwart the strife schemes that had been in store.
