The
army intelligence service was reported Friday to have
arrested two more Lebanese Forces activists as a military
magistrate rejected a writ to free Samir Geagea's political
advisor Toufic Hindi on bail.
The two new detainees were identified as Fadi Shamati
and Saud Abu Shibl. Their families reported their arrest
to Patriarch Nasrallah Sfeir in Diman on Thursday.
Shamati,
who lives in Batroun, was summoned to the intelligence
center at the Kubbi military barracks in Tripoli.
Abu Shibl was summoned to the intelligence center
in Sarab before they were both taken to the defense
ministry in Yarze Wednesday night.
The
intelligence bureau gave no reason for the new arrests,
the first since army's crackdown on the LF and Gen.
Aoun's Free Patriotic Movement Aug. 7.
