A lebanon military judge on Wednesday sentenced 106 men to death over clashes between the Army and jehadis two years ago in the east of the country, a judicial source said.
Judge Najat Abou Chakra convicted 73 Syrians, 32 lebanese and one Palestinian of belonging to “terrorist organisations,” attacking the town of Arsal near the Syrian border, and kidnapping and attempting to kill lebanese soldiers and policemen, the source said.
Seventy-seven of those convicted are in custody but the other 29 remain at large.
They include Abu Malek al-Talli, the leader in the cross-border area of Qalamun of Syria's Al Qaeda affiliate, Al-Nusra Front.
