“Daesh” is beating the drums of death in Tripoli!

24 hours after the Islamic preacher Omar Bakri addressed a press release expressing his desire to raise their flag over the presidential palace in Baabda, and the White House in the United States, a number of men suddenly fired five shots at the pro-Daesh Sheikh Yusuf Mohamed Hamdan, who suffers as a result of minor injuries. 

Who is Yousef Hamdan? 

A question answered by Tripoli’s well-informed source: He is the son of Mohammed Hamdan, the man who was leading one of the groups of Tripoli’s divisions formed by the Future Movement before the events of the seventh of May. He added: “Hamdan the father was receiving instructions directly from Chief Hammoud, the commander of Future Army in the North”. 

The source continued saying, “After the events of the seventh of May, and the frustration felt by the ‘blue’ fighters, Muhammad Hamdan preferred to separate himself from Hammoud, and have resorted to the former Director General of the Internal Security Forces, Ashraf Rifi, and was able to quickly book a place for him among the people belonging to the Major General”. 

Answering the question about the identity of the man that targeted Yousef Hamdan, and the reasons that led to that, the source indicated, “The men who belong to the Salafi preacher Omar Bakri, including (Muhammad R.) and (Moamin N.), carried out the operation that targeted him, because of accusing Hamdan of cursing at Bakri through social media”. 

The source continued that what took place on Friday is similar to an American film. Omar Bakri led the invasion by himself, after he prepared carefully for it. The source also pointed to the fact that the Daesh Sheikh came out from Al-Qebba area heading a convoy that consists of about fifteen motorcycles before leaving it minutes before the accident that took place in the Bab el-Ramel area. 

The source believes that what happened on Friday is a message of challenge sent by Bakri to General Rifi in his own town, as if he wanted to say: The time of arresting and taking me to the cells of the Information Branch has gone forever”. The source added: “The leaders of Tripoli and its deputies now have to coexist forcibly with the situation created by Bakri in the city”. 

In the same context, Mohammed Hamdan, the father of the man who was targeted denied, through text messages that were spread by the people of Tripoli, “The fact that his son was being targeted to settle a political matter0 between the security services”, stressing that there are no acts of revenge between his son and any Muslim or non-Muslim group”.
