BEIRUT: Lebanon’s judiciary sentenced two people to life Friday for participating in attacks against the Lebanese Army in the Palestinian refugee camp of Nahr al-Bared in 2007.
Syrian national Ahmad Qassem, 30, and Palestinian Ahmad al-Sheikh, 36, had been indicted for “assaulting the state’s internal security, committing terrorist attacks and funding them, murder and attempt of murder.”
They were detained in October 2007 and had been held without trial, the Judicial Council's indictment said.
The council also sentenced 22 people to death last week over their involvement in the Fatah al-Islam-led attacks on the Army.
The full-fledged battle against the Lebanese Army in the Nahr al-Bared refugee camp in north Lebanon led to the death of 170 soldiers and 64 civilians.
