Army Chopper drops flyers to
Fatah al-Islam militants
The Lebanese Army Command on Tuesday told Fatah al-Islam
terrorists that they are committing suicide by refusing
to surrender to its troops in the northern refugee camp
of Nahr al-Bared.
An army helicopter dropped flyers to Fatah al-Islam
terrorists entrenched in a tiny enclave on the camp's
southern edge urging them to surrender and allow their
dependents to leave the war zone.
"Your case of fighting the Lebanese Army is not just.
You are fighting in vain the army of Lebanon and the
will of the Lebanese people. Maintaining the fight
increases the pain endured by the Lebanese and
Palestinian peoples," the army command said in the
statement.
"Allow the women and children to determine their own
destiny because holding them (against their will) is a
crime. Achieving justice is the shortest way leading to
ending the present situation," the statement added.
It told Fatah al-Islam militants that "losing time and
rejecting the army's repeated calls on you to surrender
and face a just trial is a decision to commit suicide,
for which you are held responsible."
