The conspiracy reveals in Lebanon: Telecom scandal.
They had conspired to wrongly accuse engineer Tarek Rabaa for spying to the Mossad-Tarek Rabaa's case.
They had conspired to wrongly accuse engineer Tarek Rabaa for spying to the Mossad-Tarek Rabaa's case.
Tarek Rabaa, a Lebanese Telecom engineer working as head of transmission engineering unit at Alfa was wrongly accused last year for spying to the Mossad, but in fact he is a victim of torture, fabricated indictment and a conspiracy by those who planned to decribilise the STL (SPECIAL TRIBUNAL FOR LEBANON) indictment. While Tarek was arbitrary detained in the ministry of defense detention center (underground), the resistance & pro-syrians party in Lebanon triggered a wide advertising campaign telling the Lebanese worldwide, the telecom sector in Lebanon is infiltrated by the israelians after discovering those spies in Alfa company. As a result, they added, the CDR (Call Data Registry) are tampered and subsequently the indictment to issue by the special tribunal for Lebanon is not reliable anymore. What has been revealed lately that Tarek Rabaa didn't confess for spying and no evidences against him. Seven international organizations claimed Tarek Rabaa as a victim of torture and arbitrary detention but the state in Lebanon is careless and pretend transparency in the military court headed by Nizar Khalil who is pro 8 of March party and he also attends the speeches of the resistance; which make him biased. Tarek family rallied many times to raise the voice high to stop the oppression against him and they wondered the suspicious silence of Alfa which didn't announce till today the irrelevancy between Tarek and the CDRs. Tarek Rabaa is in jail since 15 months and he was suspected wrongly based on a French # which has been revealed to be for a Taxi company named Welcome V&V in France. The number is +33607867583 used by a woman Vanny Tran Vivier as manager for a transport company. This number called Tarek on his mobile one time he was attending a training course at Alcatel-Lucent University in 2007. The military intelligence did a mistake (or intentionally) in identifying the number and accused Tarek for spying. Knowing that Welcome V&V was used by Alcatel to transport Tarek from the train station to the hotel. However when Charbel Kazzi was arrested the military intelligence has found among Charbel's data calls the same French number who called Charbel in 2008 when he was selected by Alfa company to attend a training at Alcatel-Lucent University. Then the military committed the ERROR by not verifying the owner of the number and they had made the link to (wrongly) accuse Tarek for spying. You can surf the you tube by writing Tarek Rabaa to see his family manifestation and they added a movie lately to shake the emotions of leaders in Lebanon who don't care
it's a scandal for at least the military intelligence, the resistance and for Alfa company which is managed by Orascom. The resistance did many press conferences pretending the violation of telecom network in Lebanon without any evidence but they pre-sentenced Tarek as spy. They have used some paid reporters like Hassan Illeik to support their non-logical story. Tarek was working as engineer in Alfa one of the gsm operator in Lebanon and he obeys the orders. Tarek Rabaa lawyer Nada Rabaa published a statement regarding the case of no case explaining by evidences the innocence of Tarek of this indictment whereas Tarek Rabaa is still in jail since July 12, 2010. This is Lebanon!
Why they had targeted Tarek Rabaa?
Since Tarek didn't confess for spying in all stages of interrogations and investigations, they fabricated a story. The motive behind accusing Tarek Rabaa with a fabricated indictment has at least 4 major reasons:
1. To decredibilise the STL's indictment which accuses four persons affiliated to the resistance.
2. To have a pretext to support the fiber optic project costing 60 millions US dollars by pretending it's more secure than microwave links and if the project not approved they will accuse the government to not working for the sake of the country.
3. To protect; cover the military intelligence after torturing Tarek & arbitrary detained him.
4. To likely protect the real spies by distracting the Lebanese authorities by arresting wrongly a suspected engineer such as Tarek Rabaa.
The chronological facts:
1. On 23 May, 2009 Der Spiegel published a report revealing that the special tribunal for Lebanon STL will indict the Resistance based on cellular calls.
2. Afterwards, the Lebanese intelligence departments become active and they arrested around 70 suspected spies until they arrested Charbel Qazzi in June 2010 & Tarek Rabaa in July 2010. Subsequently the resistance had triggered a wide TV campaign targeting in advance the STL indictment which will accuse the resistance based on the CDR (Call Data Registry). The resistance pre-sentenced Tarek regardless of what happened with him in the ministry of defense and they told the Lebanese that the telecom sector was manipulated and the data was tempered by the israelians to jump to a conclusion: the STL indictment is not reliable.
3. On July 15, 2010 thus 3 days after detaining Tarek, the Telecom Regulatory Authority (TRA) headed by Dr Imad rushed to meet with the ex prime minister Saad Hariri and with the deputy Hassan from the resistance under a pretext 'network security'. They were very active to diffuse an image showing the telecom network as under attack. Meanwhile Tarek was detained and the first so-called investigation report was dated July 27, 2010. This confirms their plan to act as if really the telecom networks are under attack and they stressed on the urgent approval for fiber optics.
4. On November 1, 2010, the first military investigator judge Riad Abu Ghayda finalized Tarek Rabaa interrogation without any confession for spying though all types of pressures they performed on Tarek including physical torture.
5. On 21 November 2010, the CBC newspaper published a new report confirming the STL's indictment will accuse the resistance based on cellular phone calls used in Hariri assassination.
6. On November 23, 2010 the minister Charbel Nahhas together with the telecom regulatory body as well as the deputy Hassan rushed to carrie out a conference press pretending violation of Telecom sector. They based their conference press on the assumption of suspected spies Charbel Qazzi & Tarek Rabaa. At that time, Tarek was transferred to Roumieh jail without indictment yet.
7. Few days after the famous press conference, Riad Abu Ghayda issued on December 6, 2011 a wrong indictment and transfer Tarek to the court. Riad abu Ghayda lies in his indictment and he was influenced by the press and the military intelligence.
8. On December 24, 2010 Al-Akhbar newspaper published on its first page a story defaming Tarek Rabaa and it was followed with a TV compaign on al-MANAR & on NBN pre-sentencing Tarek as a spy. The article was prepared by a paid reporter Hassan Illeik who is very close to the military intelligence.
9. On June 2011 the STL issued its indictment accusing 4 persons from the resistance and the campaign against Tarek was retriggered by al-manar TV by insisting on considering Tarek as a spy while he's still under prosecution in the military tribunal where he manifested self-confidence of being innocent from their fabricated stories.
Tarek confirmed not meeting, not contacting and not working for any intelligence group. Tarek explained to the court that he has no decision in the company and all fundings as well engineering projects are approved by the ministry of Telecom and Alfa management. While Nizar Khalil was interrogating Tarek, the STL issued the indictment. The court had cut the interrogation and postponed Tarek 2.5 months to see what the resistance position will be.
10. From another side, the minister of telecom Charbel Nahhas took the opportunity last year to use Tarek story as pretext to have the approval on the Fiber optic project to say it is safer than microwave and he got this 60 millions$ project though no justified need at that time. Early this year the hidden goal has been revealed in Tarchiche. The resistance planned to use implicitly and discretely the fiber network of the ministry of telecommunication. They activated 3G in Lebanon with a very bad quality.
This is a part of the scandal behind targeting Tarek Rabaa: the STL indictment, the private transmission network of the resistance as well as personal interests in the ministry of telecom and last but not least to cover the torture, arbitrary detention, the violation of law and to uncover the real spies. Tarek is still in jail victim of their agenda and he is for sure innocent from their fabrications and lies.
Tarek is an employee who follows orders and he cannot do any expansion in the transmission network without the approval of Alfa management and the ministry of telecom.

Wha happened with Tarek in July 2010? The REAL STORY:
Two weeks after arresting Charbel Qazzi,Tarek Rabaa was summoned to the ministry of defense on July 12, 2010 where the military intelligence detained him unlawfully 32 days without arrest warrant. 16 days later, on July 27, 2010 the military prosecutor judge Sakr Sakr (government delegate to the military tribunal) requested to arrest Tarek and to keep him in the ministry of defense detention center. On July 28, 2010 Sakr Sakr charged Tarek according to a 'paper request' and he asked to arrest and to investigate with him while Tarek was already arbitrary detained and tortured in the ministry of defense detention center. Tarek Rabaa's file was fabricated without neither control nor supervision, he was swinging from a judge to another, and every time his family asked about him, they answered 'there's nothing' or no answers at all.
All procedures applied until today are unlawful. Furthermore, what is weird and shocking is the arrest warrant: What happened is that on page 1 of the 'case foundation record', the case was founded by the military investigate judge Samih el Hajj on August 4, 2010 who issued an arrest warrant on August 5, 2010 before interrogating Tarek & without a lawyer. (All unlawful process was hidden to his lawyer & his lawyer didn't know anything about what happened until transferring the file to the court). On August 12, 2010 the first military investigate Riad Abu Ghayda who had interrogated Tarek issued the formal arrest warrant after 32 days of detention. What is weird here, it is stated in the ' case foundation record' on page 3 that the case was founded on July 28, 2010 by Riad Abu Ghayda. The case is full of infringements &violations of law to the extent the tribunal reply on all infringements was deceiving as they considered as normal to transfer the file from judge to another unlawfully, the manipulation in the dates
and the pages numbers, the arbitrary detention, keeping Tarek in the ministry of defense detention center 108 days!! The torture!! All those infringements are for the military court headed by Nizar Khalil is normal. Subsequently, Tarek was detained arbitrary for 32 days without an arrest warrant. As for the lawyer Nada Rabaa, they didn't inform her about the arrest warrant, they prevent her to meet with Tarek and her role was just to attend the interrogation sessions and nothing else. Then, Tarek was not only deprived of his defense but also his lawyer was not allowed to perform her tasks. Also, all declarations his lawyer submitted were rejected and they didn't even register them and when his lawyer was following the requests their answer was 'there's no arrest warrant, there's investigation'.
Tarek complained the torture & told the military investigate judge about the maltreatment in the ministry of defense but they didn't register and they didn't entrust any so-called forensic doctor especially when they saw his very bad physical & psychological situation of Tarek. The case of Tarek is full of violations, infringements and even plenty of riggings perpetrated by high ranking level officers in the state of Lebanon.
From another side, Tarek's file contains neither confession nor evidence and he was arrested based on a French number belonging to Taxi company called Welcome V&V in Tregastel France. You can surf the web and find this company.
Recently, the journalist Hassan Illeik gave a statement to Aljazeera English website targeting Tarek once more and he manifested as a judge, engineer and expert investigator.
