NNA - Certain protagonists execute external designs by openly proclaiming loyalty to the outside, Sunni mufti of Tripoli cleric Malek Sha'ar, complained in his public statement today.



Despite this fact, security forces backed by the Lebanese military pose as the backbone of national security, Sha'ar exclaimed. We shall remain steadfast against attempts at fomenting sectarian strife while continuing to clamour for the implementation of the Baabda Declaration be implemented under the joint auspices of both President Sleiman and PM Mikati, Sha'ar added.



We beseech security officials to assume their responsibility by arresting the criminals and making them stand justice before the courts of law, he concluded.
