Busted: The Plan To Terrorize Tripoli And Convert It Into An “Islamic Emirate”

Fascinating details have emerged about a so-called “Plan 755” to terrorize Tripoli, cut it off from Beirut and turn it into an Islamic Emirate.

They had a plan

What most of you know is that the Army has been shelling and attacking the Nahrel Bared Refugee camp to root out the Fateh Al Islam terrorists. What people know less is that the Army has been busy rounding up many people in various neighborhoods of Tripoli itself.

For a good reason, it turned out. According to the daily Assafir (hardly the pro-government newspaper), the Army intelligence put its hands on a “treasure of Information” after questioning the Fateh Al Islam members it already has in custody.

It emerged that a terrorist operation of an unprecedented scale in the modern history of Lebanon was planned in Tripoli. That plan was dubbed (plan 755). The security operation also unearthed “huge” cashes of weapons, explosives and maps.

In a nutshell, the plan, which was being prepared since February 2006, was meant to start shortly after the attacks on the Army last week. The terrorists would be divided into three groups: One will attempt to cut the international road that leads from Akkar to Syria. One will conduct a huge terrorist operation in the center of Tripoli ( I don’t know what it is, but it could be perhaps a suicide attack on Brunch at peak time? ), and another will head to bomb the Shikka tunnel: a move that will significantly hamper traffic from Beirut to Tripoli.
