Jund El Sham Threatens to Slay Mehlis, Calling him Mossad Officer
A throat-slitting threat has been served against Lebanon's reigning authority by a group calling itself Jund El Sham, which also threatened to slaughter German Prosecutor Detlev Mehlis, who is heading a U.N. team investigating Rafik Hariri's assassination.
"We will slaughter without hesitation the reigning Lebanese authority and those who make up the majority in Parliament for collaborating with the WestÂ… to impose a new tutelage over Lebanon," Al Mustaqbal quoted Jund El Sham leaflets distributed in the northern Lebanese township of Rahbeh in Akkar as saying.
"We shall overthrow this authority by all means," Jund El Sham vowed in the leaflets that included Mehlis as a slaying target "because he is one of the senior-most officers of the Mossad," Israel's secret service, according to the newspaper that speaks for the Hariri family and Saniora.
Mehlis is currently in Vienna, writing his final report on the outcome of the probe into Hariri's murder.
