Militiamen roamed the Lebanese northern city of Tripoli on Monday as they fired live ammunition in the air and cut off the roads at al-Noor and Beddawi roundabouts, Al-Manar website correspondent reported.

Gunmen roam the main streets in the city, shooting in the air and forcing shops to close to protest the arrest of Gali Haddara, one of the salafist cleric Ahmad Al-Assir’s partisans, who appeared in a videotape behind the salafist retired singer Fadl Shaker.

Moreover, provocations against the national army continued and our reporter said that B7 projectiles were fired near the army posts in Nahr Abu Ali roundabout.
Another hand grenade was thrown in the vicinity of Tripoli Palace.

Security in Tripoli has been destabilized recently following the infiltration of weapons and militiamen into the Syrian territories to fight for the al-Qaeda-linked al-Nusra terrorist group against the Syrian national army.
