Hizbullah Chief to Slam Saudi War on Yemen in Speech --- Al-Binaa

Al-Binaa newspaper reported that Hizbullah Secretary General Sayyed Hasan Nasrallah is to deliver a speech Friday during a ceremony held by Hizbullah in solidarity with the people of Yemen to denounce the Saudi-US aggression on Yemen.

The ceremony, entitled "Solidarity, Loyalty & Righteous Cry in Face of Tyrant Rule", will be held in Sayyed Shohadaa complex in Beirut's southern suburb (Dahiyeh) at five o'clock in the afternoon (Beirut Time) as the aggression on Yemen entered its fourth week with hundreds of civilians been killed so far and more others injured.
The paper quoted well-informed sources as saying that "Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah will reassure that the Hizbullah will not back-up from its stance in supporting the Yemeni people. He will renew his call to Saudi Arabia to a political solution and to conclude lessons from the massacres it has committed from which it reaped nothing but failure.

Sources, according to al-Binaa, said that "Sayyed Nasrallah will harshly criticize the Saudi policies in the region for its war on Yemen. He will also provide a strategic reading to what is happening in this country particularly after the UNSC resolution on Yemen which has turned the battle into a bloody one between a project of liberation and independence versus another project of hegemony."

Future Party Official Who Supported Terrorists Flees Lebanon --- As-Safir

Amid Hammoud, a prominent figure at the March-14 Future Movement left Lebanon a week ago after confessions by terrorist leaders in the northern city of Tripoli revealed that he provided them with weapons and ammunition.
According to As-Safir newspaper published on Friday, Hammoud headed to Turkey after the testimonies by Saad al-Masri and Ziad Allouki before the military court.
Information obtained by As-Safir said that the General Prosecution issued a search and arrest warrant against Hammoud after receiving the testimonies of Masri and Allouki. However, Hammoud headed on the first airplane to Turkey after he was informed by a prominent figure in the Future party of the prosecution's attempt to arrest him.

"We advise you to leave the country soon because we can no longer protect you," sources quoted the prominent leader as telling Hammoud.

In May 2014, several leaders of armed fighters in Tripoli, including Masri and Allouki, turned themselves over to the military intelligence ahead of the implementation of a security plan in the city.

Ohio Man Trained by Syra's al-Qaeda Arrested --- The Guardian

Federal charges have been brought against an Ohio man who allegedly trained in Syria with Islamist militants, the Justice Department said on Thursday.
Abdirahman Sheik Mohamud, 23, is accused of supporting a foreign terrorist organization and making false statements to the FBI, according to an indictment.

Federal authorities said that Mohamud reportedly left the US in April 2014 "for the purpose of training and fighting with terrorists in Syria".

After arriving in Syria, Mohamud, a naturalized US citizen who had been living in Columbus, received training in shooting weapons, breaking into houses, explosives and hand-to-hand combat by al-Nusra Front, the al-Qaida-affiliated in Syria, the Justice Department said. Mohamud was later instructed by a cleric, identified as an affiliate of the group by a US law enforcement official, to return to the US, with intent to commit an act of terror.

According to the indictment, Mohamud told an unidentified person that while in Syria he had received combat training. Mohamud said his instructions to return to the US came just before he was due to start fighting with militants in Syria.
At least 15,000 foreign jihadis have flocked to Iraq and Syria to participate in the twin conflicts there, according to a recent UN report. Of those, dozens of Americans are known to have traveled to Syria, raising concerns that some could return to the US to launch attacks.

Stances & Positions 

Hizbullah Assures Saudi War on Yemen Failed --- Hizbullah Media Relations

Head of Hizbullah Political-bureau Sayyed Ibrahim Amine Sayyed, assured that the Saud choice in launching a war against the Yemeni people reflects powerlessness and failure, noting that every player that choses war as a policy will eventually leave the battle with major losses; much bigger than losses that might result from political solutions.

"Today, after 21 days to the beginning of the US-Saudi aggression against Yemen, we can confidently say that Saudi Arabia did not realize one political or military goal, or achieve anything on the ground. The construction, culture, and experience of the Yemeni people assure what Imam Ali Khamenei had said; that Saudi Arabia will get its nose rubbed against the ground."

Ki-Moon Calls for Immediate Cease-Fire --- The New York Times

 
United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-moon has called for an immediate cessation of clashes in Yemen, saying a political solution is the best way out of the conflict in the Arab country.

"I am calling for an immediate ceasefire in Yemen by all parties ... It is time to support corridors for lifesaving aid and a passage to real peace," Ban said on Friday, adding, "The United Nations-supported diplomatic process is the best way out of a drawn-out war with terrifying implications for regional stability."
