BEIRUT: Lebanon's security forces are adamant about fighting takfiri terrorism the head of General Security said Friday, at the launch of the agency’s new magazine.
On General Security's 69th anniversary, Maj. Gen. Abbas Ibrahim urged the promotion of a “culture of preemptive security,” saying that the development of a “proactive risk monitoring” process along with the detection of possible national threats, would allow security forces to “control the threat” and “paralyze” any danger the country faced.
Speaking of the danger he believes is imminent, Ibrahim said that a terrorist threat was approaching the country, one that would carry out plans to divide Lebanon and expand Israeli territory.
The General Security head said that the military would spare no effort in fending off any threat to state stability, especially during this critical phase that has engulfed the Arab region.
Lebanon is facing a two sided war - one with the “Israeli enemy” and another with terrorism, Ibrahim argued.
“This requires us all to work on the establishment of a culture of security that is based on close and permanent cooperation between all official forces,” he added.
Concluding on a more hopeful note, Ibrahim said that the upcoming phase would be “full of activities and achievements,” ranging from the “expansion of electronic services” to the “adoption of biometric passports” in 2015, as well as the establishment of “magnetic identity cards.”
