The internal security forces raided an hospital in Beirut and cruellyinterrupt the treatment of Mr Tarek RABAA

Via Flickr:
Based on a report issued by the doctor from inside Roumieh's jail, the internal security forces had approved the transfer of the engineer Tarek RABAA to the hospital. On September 26, 2012 Mr Tarek RABAA had been transferred from Roumieh's prison to Al-Makassed hospital in Beirut. Around one hour after starting his medical treatment, the internal security forces suddenly raided the hospital, they ordered the doctor to stop the medical treatment process and to remove the serum because they decided to take Tarek back to jail. The doctor has refused to stop the treatment because of the critical health situation he concluded after examining Tarek, yet the internal security forces had treated cruelly Mr Tarek and they carried him on a wheelchair (because he was not able to standup) and they rapidly transported him back to Roumieh jail escorted with dozens of police's cars.

Eye-witnesses have wondered such cruel treatment and such tight security measures against Tarek RABAA who is sick and he is already in the phase of pre-trial detention since years.

The engineer Tarek RABAA who is unlawfully detained since July 12, 2010 didn't yet finish his trial in the military court in Beirut and he didn't collaborate with the Israelian as has been announced many times on TV by his family who has demonstrated many times and many evidences on the fabrication of the indictment has been distributed. He was tortured during the initial investigation because he was saying "no" to the military intelligence's investigators who suspected Tarek based on a French number which has been revealed to be used by a taxi company in Lannion-France. Tarek's sickness has been caused by the torture which had been reported last year to the military court and confirmed by a medical report issued by a so called forensic doctor, but because Tarek didn't receive a convenient treatment while he is in jail, his health situation has deteriorated quickly. After the repetitive requests of his family to transfer him to a private hospital, they got an approval on condition that the treatment's cost to be borne by RABAA's family. Suddenly, the internal security forces headed by the general Ashraf RIFI changed arbitrary the decision after transporting Tarek to the hospital and the internal security forces cruelly treated him while he was in the hospital.
As a result of such arbitrary decision, Tarek is now in the jail, more sick, he is suffering from many diseases and he is not receiving the convenient medical treatment until today...

The above photo shows the prison of Roumieh during a mutiny which erupted on April 7, 2011 in a wing of the prison. One of the reasons behind the mutiny was the poor conditions of detention in the prison...

Mr Tarek Rabaa health has deteriorated in jail and the head of the military court wonders the absenteeism of Alfa CEO



On September 21, 2012 the security forces were not able to drive the engineer Tarek RABAA from the central jail in Roumieh to attend the trial session in the military court in Beirut because of his deteriorated health situation.“Tarek is hardly standing on his feet, he becomes sick, he has been transferred to the medical center in the jail and the doctor has requested to urgently transfer him to the hospital” his lawyer Nada RABAA explained to the head of the court, the general Khalil IBRAHIM. Nada RABAA demanded to release Tarek in order to be able to treat him. The head of the court asked her to submit a demand to clarify his health condition in order to decide on her request.
This court session was supposed to be for hearing the so called witnesses in Tarek’s case who are employees working at Alfa, one of the mobile operators in Lebanon. The Alfa’s CEO Marwan HAYEK didn’t come to the court for the second time because“we didn’t find him”, the clerk in the court had announced. Then, the general Khalil IBRAHIM commented on this pretext by saying “I wonder how a general manager is not being found” and he decided to summon Marwan HAYEK again. Farid Baz, Tarek’s line manager, and Wissam Karam attended the session while Pierre Abi Nader didn’t come also.
The session was adjourned till March 1, 2013 after deciding to summon Marwan Hayek (Alfa’s CEO), Farid Baz (Tarek’s line manager), Wissam Karam (responsible for the OSS-Operation Support subsystem), Pierre Abi Nader (responsible for the maintenance of switching centers) and Tarek’s wife.
Observers commented on this session by considering the case as “pending since 2010″, and they wonder also the consecutive absenteeism of the Chief Executive Officer of Alfa Marwan Hayek on March 19, 2012 and on September 21, 2012. Marwan had already attended the session on December 12, 2011 and he was escorted by two lawyers, but the session was adjourned at that time because the court which was previously headed by the general Nizar Khalil had refused to consider the arbitrary and unlawful detention in Tarek’s case in spite of no single evidence against him and even the court doesn’t have a confession. Observers has put a big question mark on the consecutive absenteeism of Marwan HAYEK and they are wondering the presence of 2 lawyers with him when he previously attended for just hearing him as a witness.
From another side, Tarek RABAA has been detained in July 2010 without an arrest warrant. Tarek who is known as a brilliant engineer in Lebanon, hold an engineering degree in telecoms and a master degree in business. On November 9, 2011 Tarek has been announced a victim of torture by seven international organizations which deal with the so called human rights, yet he is still arbitrary detained until today and his health has dramatically deteriorated in prison.
Marwan HAYEK who is currently the CEO for Alfa was recruited by Cellis (now Alfa) in 1995 as a transmission engineer and he worked with Tarek RABAA in the same field. Marwan resigned in 1999 further to internal problems inside Cellis and he has been recruited by Orascom. Before returning to Lebanon in April 2010 as CEO for Alfa, he was a CTO for Mobinil in Egypt and he didn’t previously occupy a CEO position. Marwan HAYEK knows also the French director Lionel COUSSI who was working at Cellis in Lebanon between 1994-1996 and then COO (Chief Operations Officer) at Mobinil from 1999 to 2001. The military intelligence in Lebanon had mentioned in the preliminary investigation that Tarek knows Lionel but the first military investigating judge Riad ABU GHAYDA has giving from his mind a ranking to Lionel as an officer in the Israelian intelligence. Tarek has clarified in the court on September 15, 2011 that Lionel Coussi was in Lebanon and he didn’t get in contact with him since 1996, and he was a technical director at Cellis.
Alfa is now managed by Orascom which is owned by the Egyptian billionaire Naguib Sawiris. All technical data about Alfa’s cellular network are being sent to Orascom holding in Egypt while the ministry of telecom is keeping silent on such issue and the ministers of telecom Jobran BASSIL, Charbel NAHHAS and currently Nicolas SAHNAWI are affiliated to the same political group as Marwan HAYEK, the movement of Michel AOUN. The ex telecom minister Jobran BASSIL has ended the management contract of FAL-DETE in November 2008, he selected Orascom to manage Alfa in 2009 and he launched an extension project for the cellular network. Then, Marwan HAYEK was assigned CEO during the era of the ex-telecom minister Charbel NAHHAS who launched a 60 million dollars fiber optic project which has been approved further to the kidnapping of Tarek RABAA after exploiting his story as a pretext to pretend that fiber optic is safer than microwave links…
This is Lebanon today where the production of movies based on political purposes continue using prisoners with fabricated files without any evidence or confession…

Tarek Rabaa's family will take action under the title "Earthquake-1"

Via Flickr:
On August 10, 2012 a statement was issued by Tarek Rabaa's family to call the Lebanese people to prepare themselves for a demonstration in front of the military court in Beirut.

The published statement had included the following message:
Further to the repetitive rejections of the many release requests Tarek RABAA's lawyer is submitting to the military court, it becomes obvious that a hidden third party is being spitefully and politically managing Tarek's file in such a way to impede his release in spite of his innocence.

Consequently,
This empty file of Tarek RABAA has experienced a hindering political power which has exerted huge efforts to discredit the cellular data records used by the Special Tribunal for Lebanon. They had carried out press conferences based on illusions, ignorance, lies, and they are hiding behind the innocent engineer Tarek RABAA who is being exploited by this political party by using his fabricated file as a pretext for their allegations about the unreliable cellular phone data records. Therefore, such allegations and lies are not only no more acceptable but they are also rejected by the honest Lebanese citizens who will disclose this flagrant and scandalous file.

Subsequently,
We call the Lebanese populace in general and specifically the citizens of Beirut to prepare themselves for a very soon huge gathering under the title "EARTHQUAKE-1" to revolt against the injustice in Lebanon and to say all at once:
"Release Tarek Omar RABAA and stop your beastliness"

Who is the engineer Tarek Rabaa? The political prisoner in Lebanon!

Via Flickr:
Tarek Rabaa is a Lebanese citizen, the son of the famous tailor Omar Rabaa, born in Beirut in 1970. Tarek grew up in Beirut and specifically in Tarik Jdideh district beside Malaab al Baladi roundabout in a street known by RABAA street in reference to the social services his father Omar was rendering for the residents with the absenteeism of the Lebanese authorities during the Lebanese war which had lasted 15 years. Tarek's mother belongs to Ismaiil family from a southern village Jouaya which is known by its wealthy population and his uncle is Nabil Ismaiil works in real estate brokering and constructions. Tarek has three brothers and 1 sister, Rabih Rabaa is a civil engineer, Abboud and Youssef are pharmacists and Nada Rabaa is a lawyer.
The Rabaa's family are living in Rabaa street and in Rabaa building where Tarek grew up with his cousins who work in manufacturing of clothes with a strong family bond.

Tarek studied during the Lebanese war (13 April 1975 – 13 October 1990) at Beirut Arab University where he obtained his bachelor degree in electrical engineering in 1993 with distinction. He had won two golden prizes of excellence from the ex prime minister Rafic Hariri and a prize of distinction from the university for being ranked first on the whole engineering faculty.
Tarek started his career in 1993 by working at Cablevision where he had excelled in the electronic field and in April 1995 he joined Cellis, one of the GSM operator in Lebanon, which was managed by the France telecom group and the current prime minister Najib Mikati who was a major shareholder in the company.

Historical briefing on Cellis:
Cellis had been headed by Salah Bouraad for 10 years (1994-2004) until a German-Saoudi company called Fald-Dete was introduced by the Lebanese government in June 2004 and it has substituted Alfa for Cellis when Jean Louis Kordahi, who was close to ex-Lebanese president Emile Lahhoud, was the minister of Telecom.
In 1995 Cellis recruited Tarek as a transmission engineer in the transmission engineering unit and he was reporting to a French line Manager Philippe Girard who in turn was reporting to Lionel Coussi, the head of engineering department. The technical director for Cellis was Bernard Limeul, a French citizen also, but few months after Tarek had started his work, Philippe Girard left Lebanon and Christian Isorce had become the head of transmission engineering unit and he recruited the Lebanese engineer Marwan Hayek in 1995 in the transmission unit to work with Tarek. Few months later, Christian Isorce left Lebanon as well as Bernard Limeul, then Lionel Coussi had become the technical director for Cellis and Hubert Dufournet became the head of the engineering department.
Lionel Coussi left Lebanon in October 1996 and another French technical director had been assigned, Patrick Soulard, who also left Lebanon until Patrick Eid had been assigned as CTO until he resigned in 2004.
After the resignation of Christian Isorce, the transmission unit had been split to two units, one headed by Tarek Rabaa responsible for the studies related to high capacity links and another unit headed by Marwan Hayek responsible for low capacity microwave links.
In 1999, Marwan Hayek resigned from Cellis further to internal conflicts in the company and specifically with the operation and maintenance department headed by Antoine Abi Safi who was continuously criticizing his work and complaining on the frequency interference and the interruption of the low capacity transmission network Marwan was responsible for its quality. Afterwards, Patrick Eid has transferred to Tarek Rabaa Marwan responsibilities and he unified the transmission unit to be responsible for both low and high capacity network. Patrick ordered Tarek to find solutions for the bad quality of the access network and for sure Tarek has succeeded in his mission.

The conspiracy on Tarek Rabaa:
Tarek was a brilliant and smart engineer, but in June 2004 after Fal-Dete had taken the helm to manage the cellular network, hundreds of employees resigned after receiving an indemnity limited to 133,000 USD. At that time Tarek was studying management at the Lebanese American University in Beirut from which he acquired an Executive Master degree in Business administration in 2006. From another side, Alfa management (CEO: Ineke Botter, CTO: Felix Wass) strangely appointed Farid Baz in 2005, a technician from the maintenance department, as the head of engineering department instead of Tarek and they had kept Tarek in the same position as head of transmission engineering unit until the military intelligence detained him arbitrary on July 12, 2010.

in January 2008, the major Wissam Eid who had worked on analyzing the cellular phone records used in Hariri's assassination, was assassinated beside Alfa's headquarter and the ex telecom minister Jobran Bassil has substituted Orascom for Fal-Dete to manage the cellular network. Early in 2009, Jobran Bassil insisted on appointing Samer Salameh, his friend, as CEO until 2010 a new minister of telecom Charbel Nahhas appointed Marwan Hayek as CEO for Alfa.

Just few months after Marwan Hayek has become the CEO for Alfa, the military intelligence arrested in June 2010 a technician known by Charbel Kazzi and on July 12, 2010 Tarek was summoned to the military intelligence under the pretext to help them to understand some technical points Charbel had told them during his investigation. Then, Tarek went with his car to the ministry of defense where it was an organized trap set in collaboration with Alfa and Charbel Kazzi to kidnap and detain Tarek without any judicial permission under the pretext he received a French call (0033607867583) on his mobile in 2007 which has revealed to be for a French taxi company Welcome V&V and not a call from the Mossad as they pretended.

Tarek had been tortured physically in the basement of the ministry of defense because he was saying "on what will i confess?" and they kept him 108 days in an isolated room starving and kissing hands to have some food to eat until the intelligence, the general prosecutor Sakr Sakr and the military investigator judge Riad Abou Ghida had completed fabricating a falsified spying file just to help the so called Hizbullah to evade the Special Tribunal for Lebanon's indictment by discrediting the cellular data record using the pretext of the telecom spies. The company Alfa has kept silent on what happened to Tarek and the management has frozen his salary since the first day of his detention after he had served his company for 15 years but he was envied by many employees because of his self confidence and because his excellence at work.

Tarek Rabaa has been targeted based on a previously planned conspiracy in which Alfa is involved in collaboration with the military intelligence and Charbel Kazzi during the era of Marwan Hayek (Aouni member) in order to discredit the Special Tribunal for Lebanon indictment, to prevent Tarek from getting his promotion and to exploit the story of microwave links to put pressure on the government by the so called Hizbullah to approve in 2010 the 60 million USD fiber optic project which has revealed lately that part of it, is being used by the so called Hizbullah.

Tarek was interrogated twice in public in the military court on June 30, 2011 and on September 15, 2011 after the court had rejected his defense plea and even the cassation court headed by the judge Alice Shobtini has retrieved herself from such political file and she rejected the appeal of his plea of defense.
Local newspaper in Lebanon entitled Tarek's interrogation in the court as follows: "If what Tarek Rabaa said is true, then the intelligence is a gang to dissolve and to prosecute".

Tarek is still arbitrary detained until today because they fear his innocence which will impact the intelligence image and the so called Hizbullah who is accused to kill Rafic Hariri. The brilliant and honest engineer is still in jai in spite of no confession or any evidence in all the investigation phases, but the military court headed by general Khalil Ibrahim and his civil consultant the judge Layla Raidi as well as the general prosecutor Sakr Sakr are insisting on keeping Tarek in jail in spite of his innocence because from one side they don't want to scratch the intelligence image which fabricated a spying file to an honest engineer and from another side Wafic Safa, a security official member of the so called Hizbullah, is impeding Tarek's release and he is sending his orders to Khalil Ibrahim who obeys directly because they fear the consequences of releasing an engineer who has been used as a shield in front of the Special Tribunal for Lebanon.

What happened with Tarek Rabaa might be repeated with other Lebanese and if the military court doesn't release Tarek, this means that Iran is still ruling the sentences in such court and the Lebanese remember well how they helped the spy Fayez Karam to be released from Jail in less than 2 years in spite of his confession and the evidences against him, whereas Tarek who didn't confess is still in jail since 2 years and 1 month.

The March 8 coalition in Lebanon wants the court to sentence Tarek even if he is innocent, but Tarek, his family and the residents in Tarik al Jadideh have decided to fight to the end until releasing this political prisoner and they will not retreat from defending one of the most honest citizen in Lebanon even if they will pay billion of dollars to Tarek to settle this case by issuing a politicized sentence. Who knows Tarek's traits, he speaks about his ethics, he cares about his reputation,he is assertive and he will not accept a trial based on a falsified indictment and wrong charges just to help the so called Hizbullah to evade an indictment which is accusing four of its members to assassinate Rafic Hariri.

This is in brief the story of Tarek Rabaa for whom, nowadays, huge banners have been raised in Beirut with the slogan "The engineer Tarek Omar Rabaa is among the most honest people in Lebanon"

Release Tarek RABAA and enough barbarousness

Via Flickr:
After being kidnapped by the military intelligence in Lebanon on July 12, 2010 the engineer Tarek RABAA had been tortured for 108 days in an underground detention center which belongs to the ministry of defense because he was saying "On What will I confess?". The brilliant engineer is still waiting for his freedom since more than 2 years and he is today the number one political prisoner in Lebanon who has been exploited by the so called Hizbullah party to discredit the cellular data records used by the Special Tribunal for Lebanon to accuse four members affiliated to this party to kill Rafic Hariri on February 14, 2005.

In spite of the unlawful detention of Tarek RABAA, he was interrogated twice in the militaty court on June 30 and September 15, 2011 and he confirmed that he was just an employee at Alfa, he had a line manager, he was following the hierarchical orders and he was travelling for tourism, training or for medical treatments. From another side, the court doesn't have any evidence against Tarek but the general prosecutor Sakr Sakr has charged him for collaborating with the Mossad without any evidence but just to help the so called Hizbullah in their plot to discredit the findings of Wissam Eid which have revealed the implications of the so called Hizbullah in killing Rafic Hariri.

The plot to discredit the cellular data record commenced when an intelligence officer provided information implicating top officials in the Iranian-backed so called Hizbullah party of Lebanon. Just days after Captain Wissam Eid met with the U.N. investigators in Beirut and provided them with a detailed analysis of cell phone records showing the so called Hizbullah’s involvement in the assassination, he was murdered in a car-bombing on January 25, 2008. The cell phone analysis linked phones carried by the hit team to known phones of the so called Hizbullah leaders.

Since then, Wafic Safa, a top security official from the so called Hizbullah, has put a strategy in 2008 and he started the implementation in April 2009 after the intelligence headed by General Wissam al Hassan discovered and based on the cellular data records also 3 spies from inside the so called Hizbullah to deal with the Mossad, but Wafic Safa at that time denied the charge and then the plot to discredit the data records entered the fast implementation phase and he gave the green light to the intelligence to arrest between 2009 and 2010 around 160 Lebanese who had been charged randomly by Sakr Sakr to deal with the Mossad. Most of those suspected persons were released because most of them were arrested based on a British number used for searching the pilot Ron Arad. But Wafic Safa plot was to find someone from inside Alfa, the cellular company, to execute his discredit plan until they kidnapped the honest engineer Tarek Rabaa in July 2010. Directly after detaining Tarek, the so called Hassan Nasrallah gave a speech on August 9, 2010 to tell the Lebanese "look at those spies in the jails! Those are indicators that the Israelians assassinated Hariri", but on June 25, 2011 he contradicted himself by confessing that he has arrested three spies from inside his organization (Mohammad al Hajj, Mohammad Atwi, Ahmad Barada), but this was a reminder of the discoveries of April 2009 by the intelligence department which had been refused by Wafic Safa at that time when he considered the Israelians cloned the SIM cards used by the suspected members.

This is in brief why the military court which is ruled by Wafic Safa is still keeping the innocent Tarek RABAA in jail because the so called Hizbullah fears the scandal about the oppression Mr. Rabaa has experienced since July 12, 2010.

Subsequently, this 15 meters banner has been hanged this week in the core center of Tarik al Jadideh district known by Malaab al Baladi with a slogan "RELEASE THE ENGINEER TAREK RABAA and ENOUGH BARBAROUSNESS" in support to his immediate release.

Tarek Rabaa's photos glued on the walls in Beirut

Via Flickr:
Hundreds of photos for the engineer Tarek Omar Rabaa have been glued on the walls in Tarik al Jadideh district to express the disenchantment of the residences on targeting an honest and brilliant engineer just for political purposes and to serve the Iranian policy in Lebanon. Tarek was kidnapped on July 12, 2010 and he was tortured by the investigators of the intelligence. Since May 2011 and further to the rejection of the military court for the defense plea, the populace of Tarik al Jadidah had gathered in thousands against the fabrication of files and charges..Untill today, Tarek Rabaa is detained and his photos are widespreading in Beirut in support to his immediate release.

The intelligence's ignorance and Alfa's gangs have contributed to imprison Tarek Rabaa

Via Flickr:
A reliable source who is aware of Tarek Rabaa's case has confirmed that the ignorance of the military intelligence's investigators and the general prosecutor as well as the investigating judge in addition to the policy of conspiracy were behind the detention of the engineer Tarek Rabaa who is oppressed and innocent of what they have accused him.

The source has confirmed that Tarek had been unlawfully summoned to the ministry of defense, 2 weeks after arresting Charbel Kazzi in order to implement the so called Hizbullah's strategy which was aiming at discrediting the cellular dada records used as evidence by the Special Tribunal for Lebanon. The proof on that is in the first page of the preliminary investigation report which shows obviously that when the military intelligence didn't find any suspected number to accuse Tarek, they selected a French number which belongs to a taxi company in France and they used it to build the suspicion, then they fabricated a file and they ended by a falsified charge to collaborate with the Mossad in spite of no confession from Tarek but a proven torture of 108 days.

The source who preferred to remain anonymous has confirmed that some of Alfa's employees motivated by jealousy, fear and conspiracy had purposely collaborated with the flagrant intelligence scenario in order to distract any suspicion that might approach them. This is the explanation for the weird Alfa's silence on targeting one of its oppressed employees who has been accused to collaborate with the Mossad while he is innocent from this charge. By asking why Tarek Rabaa has been selected and not others, the source replied by confirming that this engineer doesn't deal with politics and fabricating a spying charge will not trigger a political instability and chaos, thus paving the way for the so called Hizbullah to execute his agenda and then to put a pressure on Tarik al Jadideh's district.

The source confirmed that because the telecom field is very vast, some paid investigators in the military intelligence had convinced the patriotic ones to keep silent on what happened with this engineer in the custody in order to carry out their plot under the pretext they have not enough experience in the telecom sector which is very wide. Then, they converted the explanations on Tarek's role at Alfa and his job description to foreign orders based on the French number of the taxi company which had called Tarek on his mobile one time and for a duration of less than one minute. Afterwards, Tarek's work history has been switched to a police story diffused to the medias and promoted by Al-Akhbar newspapers and Al-Manar TV.

After the preliminary investigation, Tarek was transferred to the first investigator military judge Riad Abu Ghida for interrogation. In this phase, it has been revealed that the investigator judge understands nothing in the telecom and he is more ignorant than the intelligence's investigators. This judge had considered as data Tarek's answers on the engineering guidelines applied by Alfa and the studies which were part of his job by neglecting that Tarek is an engineer and not a drug addict.
Therefore, Riad Abu Ghida used his ignorance to persuade himself by the paid investigators pretext about the vast field of telecom and because he was not understanding telecom, he issued an indictment and he transferred Tarek for trial in the military court in Beirut to explicitly look into the case but implicitly to cover the fast release of the engineer Milad Eid who has communicated with the Israelian's intelligence using his personal mobile number.

The source ended by saying "nowadays, who doesn't have a political support he remains in jail. Tarek Rabaa is oppressed and innocent, he is a Muslim Sunni who didn't find any politician to defend him. In Lebanon, they release the killers, the spies, the crooks, the criminals and the drug smugglers but they don't care about an innocent prisoner. The reason they don't help this oppressed engineer is because they want to appear to the Lebanese populace in a patriotic image by not supporting someone who is suspected for spying in a step to at least distract the attention from the evidences which prove that those current politicians themselves are informants and spy agents to many foreign countries. This is the policy of spies in Lebanon at the political level, they target the patriotic citizen and they accuse him for spying by fabricating files in order to protect the real spies.

Outrageous news: A secret prison in Beirut


On June 25, 2011 the chief of the so called Hizbullah known by "Hassan" revealed in his speech the discovery of spies inside his organization. Hassan who is hiding in the suburb of Beirut since the last war between Lebanon and the Israelians in 2006, has pretended that the detected spies had been recruited by the CIA and not by the Mossad. For him, because the Mossad was not able to infiltrate to his organization, the Central Intelligence Agency was behind the recent recruitment of some highly ranked responsibles. Further to this announcement, the Israelies and American medias had implicitly applauded for such discovery and had purposely given an additional support to the so called Hizbullah by sending flattering messages on how much this organization is powerful. The Israelians and American messages have aimed at to keep the Lebanese worry and desperate to not revolt on such armed Iranian party in Lebanon because no more military operations in the south in spite of the occupation of Chebaa farms by the Israelians. Robert Baer, a former senior CIA officer who worked against the so called Hizbullah while stationed in Beirut in the 1980's, said the so called Hizbullah typically executes individuals suspected of or caught spying. “If they were genuine spies, I don’t think we’ll ever see them again,” he said. “These guys are very, very vicious“. In fact Robert Baer didn't update his information to consider the secret prison the Hizb have in the suburb of Beirut. Then, where are they?

After the discovery of those CIA's informants, the so called Hassan Nasrallah didn't dare to tell the names of the spies and even his organization didn't defame them as in the case of the telecom engineer Tarek Rabaa who has been exploited to target the Special Tribunal for Lebanon. This unbalanced standards of the so called Hizbullah have made the Lebanese skeptic on the goal behind those defamation campaigns and many have commenced to think their serious involvment in assassinating Rafic al Hariri.

The general prosecutor in Lebanon Saiid Mirza and the military prosecutor Sakr Sakr didn't take any action on this dangerous announcement of spies who are until today not delivered to the Lebanese authorities. The president Michel Sleiman and the prime minister Nagib Mikati, the government and all deputies are aware of the disappearance of those spies but they keep silent as if they didn't hear and they didn't see. Trusted sources have confirmed the presence of a secret jail in the suburb of Beirut used for such cases to hide kidnappees inside. Many Lebanese were already kidnapped by the so called Hizbullah for years then delivered to the military intelligence to end by a political sentences issued by the military court which is also ruled by the so called Hizbullah. For example a Lebanese citizen has been kidnapped since 3 years, and high ranking officials have confirmed Joseph Sader is alive in a secret jail in the suburb of Beirut. The sad mother of Joseph Sader died last year and until today the Lebanese state is not able to liberate him. Also, many Lebanese who were sentenced lately for collaborating with the Mossad have confessed for being imprisoned for 3 years in the secret jail of the so called Hizbullah.

Observers have confirmed the awerness of politicians in Lebanon regarding the outrageous unlawful behaviors of the so called Hizbullah but they don't care. Also the United States and the UN are aware of those violations of international law, yet they are careless because Lebanon has no petrol resources to draw their attention. Analysts are not shocked by the USA position because the States as well the Israelians are secretly backing up the tyrant regime in Syria, Iran and the so called Hizbullah as part of the Pentagon plot to rule the middle east by increasing the conflicts to test the theory of managing by chaos. Experts in the foreign policies commented on the Russian and Chinese veto against Bachar Assad "they will not dare to veto without the consent of the United States".

Consequently, with the silent from inside and outside Lebanon, the violation of law will continue and it will revert soon on the States. The discovery of the spies by the so called Hizbullah is not because he has a strong system but because of the CIA many weaknesses.

Brothers of a so called Hizbullah deputy accused of drugs dealing



MTV, a Lebanese television, revealed a drugs scandal in which the brothers of a parliamental member from the so called Hizbullah are involved.
The MTV quoted an unnamed source Wednesday, March 7, 2012 as saying that Imad al-Moqdad and Hesham and Jihad al-Moussawibrothers of the so called Hizbullah parliamental member Hussein Moussawi, were still hiding after they were accused of manufacturing and dealing in the drug Captagon pills. Following the seizure by the Lebanese customs of two machines imported from China, which are used to produce Captagon pills, Marwan Saad an expert drug manufacturer known as the “Doctor” was arrested.
A customs agent at Beirut port was similarly arrested after five tons of caffeine and 2330 litres of ether were seized which had been imported and the materials were subsequently hidden.
Police's interrogation of Marwan Saad led to the arrests of a further ten persons suspected of being involved in the case including two brothers of the so called Hizbullah deputy Hussein Moussawi, two other suspects from al-Moqdad,and others from Moussa, Ismaiil, Al Zein, Fakhry etc...including an arrest in the Bekaa area of a person who admitted that he was mixing chemicals to produce narcotic pills.
Previously to this news, Hassan Sabra, the owner of Al Shiraa journal has published a striking articles regarding narcotic pills manufacturing and smuggling networks under the cover of the so called Hizbullah.

The CIA's agents members to the so called Hizbullah have disappeared


The CIA's agents members
to the so called Hizbullah have disappeared 

On June 25, 2011 the leader of the so called Hizbullah (the HIZB) confessed the identification of CIA's agents inside his organization. Today, after 9 months of this confession, the Lebanese people have not seen those spies at all and they have not heard any info about their prosecutions. 
Where are they?
From another side, the chief of the HIZB, Hassan, has proven to adopt a paradoxical policies while dealing with confirmed spies inside his organization and the suspected spies detected by the official Lebanese authorities. For example, the leader of the Hizb has attacked in his dozens of speeches many suspected Lebanese to collaborate with the Mossad before being sentenced in the military court. He always takes the initiative to pre-sentence the defendants on Al-Manar TV screen and then Wafic Safa has the role to control the military court sentences. The Hizb's leader, Hassan, defames the defendants by providing their full names and photos to the media, but when it comes to those CIA agents he pretend to have pity on their families and he just communicates the first letters of their first names and family names. In addition to that, when the so called Hizbullah leader, Hassan, defames someone, his followers and his allies take the helm to continue the defamation campaign until further notice depending on their political interests. The exaggeration and the violation of law has reached and extent of insolence to defame innocent political prisoners and to give clear instructions to the military court on Al Manar TV to violate the principles of law by increasing the sentences to the maximun. The deputy and lawyer Emile Rahme gave already a statement last week on Al Manar TV on this topic but he didn't dare to ask the Hizb about the place of those CIA agents, yet he was silent for more than one year while a member from his party was under prosecution. The same applies to Al Manar TV which doesn't defame the defendants of their allies or families who are related to the head of parliament. On March 2, 2012 Al Manar TV had triggered a 48 hours defamation and slandering campaign against the telecom engineer Tarek Rabaa, a political detainee. The campaign had coincided with a statement issued by the Special Tribunal for Lebanon to indict a fifth member affiliated to the Hizb.
Observers have commented on the CIA's agents disappearance as follows:
1. Some of them have evaded from the southern Lebanese border witg the knowldge of the Hizb.
2. They are living a normal life and they are not in jail because the Hizb didn't handover them to the Lebanese authorities
3. They are in a secret Hizb's prison in the suburb of Beirut.
4. The Hizb might has executed them or he has sent them to Iran
5. No CIA agents at all but the Hizb is manoeuvring to protect himself from any unexpected indictment to issue by the Special Tribunal for Lebanon. Thus, they will select some victims and says, those CIA spies who did it and not us.
In any of the above cases, this Hizb is not only unequitable while dealing with some Lebanese citizens but also he is ruling Lebanon by force. Among the 128 deputies, not even one dares to ask where are they those CIA spies.

The so-called Hizbullah's plan against Tarek Rabaa




Hundreds of Lebanese citizens have been arrested and strangely convicted for spying. The big question today is: Spying on what in Lebanon? What secrets, either technological or military Lebanon have? Lebanon is importing the technology from abroad and no weapons or equipment secrets are available since years to export. Recently, a new type of spying cases has emerged in Lebanon, the pretended cases of telecom spies. This article is revealing the truth behind fabricating a spying case for a telecom employee and the goal behind such exaggerated and falsified accusations; it's the case of Tarek Rabaa.

Hundred of articles have been published on the net regarding a conspiracy to target the so-called Hizbullah by the Special Tribunal for Lebanon by manipulating the Call Data Registry to indict the Resistance in Lebanon in assassinating the ex-prime minister Rafic Hariri. Sharmine Narwani is one of the reporters who has published an article based on a conspiracy theory by using as input a story fabricated by the military intelligence in Lebanon about Telecom spies and she had based her article on an assumption that the telecom sector in Lebanon was infiltrated by the Israelians while ignoring the real political situation and distribution of power in Lebanon. She used the name of telecom engineer Tarek Rabaa who was suspected in 2010 for collaborating with the Mossad. The following article will reveal a shocking truth about the malicious plan to target Tarek Rabaa by the intelligence of the army which is known in Lebanon by its collaboration with the so-called Hizbullah. Once the reader will understand the truth behind indicting Tarek Rabaa he will easily conclude who targeted Rafic al Hariri.



Who is Tarek Rabaa?


Tarek Rabaa, a 41 years old lebanese Telecom engineer was working as head of
transmission engineering unit at Alfa (http://www.alfa.com.lb), one of the cellular operator in Lebanon, was purposely accused in 2010 for collaborating with the Mossad, but in fact it has been revealed he is a victim of torture, fabricated indictment and a conspiracy by those who planned to undermine the STL's indictment (Special Tribunal for Lebanon http://www.stl-tsl.org) which accuses four persons affiliated to the so-called Hizbullah in Killing Rafic Hariri.
Tarek Rabaa holds two university degrees, a Bachelor in telecom engineering and a Master degree in business administration with distinction. He started his career in 1993 as electronic engineer at Cablevision, a private cable tv company and in 1995 he started his job at Cellis as a transmission engineer. Cellis was owned by France Telecom and Najib Mikati until 2004 during which the company brand name has changed to Alfa with a new management company called Fal-Dete. Fal-Dete had managed the cellular network until November 2008 and was replaced by Orascom, an egyptian company, until today. The CEO of Cellis was Salah Bouraad with many names for the technical director position such as Bernard Limeul, Lionel Coussi, Patrick Soulard and Patrick Eid. The CEO for Fal-Dete was Ineke Botter and since 2008 three CEO changed from Kamal Bou Farhat to Samer Salameh to end by Marwan Hayek. The CTO (Chief Technical Officer) for Fal-Dete was Felix Wass and for Orascom Lebanon Assad Abou Sleiman. Tarek Rabaa has acquired a strong experience in the field of microwave transmission engineering and his name becomes prominent in this domain as an expert with 17 years of experience. He got promoted to head of transmission engineering unit in 1999 but he couldn't reach higher positions in 2005 because of sectarianism in the company. Tarek is married with no children and he was travelling either to attend trainings and conferences or for having treatment and tourism.
Tarek was among the employees who deal with the suppliers for transmission equipment Alcatel-Lucent, Ericsson, Huawei and Tellabs and he travelled to France, Finland, Sweden, Italy and many other countries as part of his work.
Tarek Rabaa is a Muslim Sunni, raised in Tarik al Jadidah district in Beirut. He is known by his sincerity, transparency, generosity and ethics. On May 7, 2008 the so-called Hizbullah invaded Beirut but he excluded Tarik al Jadidah for strategical and tactical considerations to target this district by arresting Tarek Rabaa in 2010.



Tarek Rabaa's arrest circumstances:


The last trip for Tarek Rabaa before his detention was in April 2010 to Germany aimed at to visit his brother-in-law. The trip was for one week but it was extended to 15 days because of airports' closure due to Iceland's volcano. After his safe return to Lebanon, he was working on the ministry of telecom's plan to expand the transmission network to cope with the fast increase of subscribers in Lebanon with Marwan Hayek assigned as CEO for Alfa. In June 2010, Charbel Kazzi was arrested and charged for collaborating with the Mossad. Charbel Kazzi, a technician, was the head of Radio and Transmission sub-unit in a maintenance department and his office was in Libatel building co-located with dozens of Alfa's employees. Charbel Kazzi was part of the maintenance department, while Tarek Rabaa was part of the engineering department. However, the activity of each department is independent but inter-departmental coordination is needed to improve the network performance. The engineering department has many units which has a planning role whereas the maintenance department's role is to maintain the quality targets set by the ministry of telecom as key performance indicators. The engineering department deals with planning and follows with the suppliers the executions of the ministry's plans then transfer the network to the maintenance department.
After the arrest of Charbel Kazzi, the 8 of March politicians had demanded to hang the spies, thus giving a political cover to the army's intelligence to arrest more and more. The intelligence was visiting Alfa offices daily and Tarek Rabaa was attending to his work normally until July 12, 2010.
Tarek reports directly to his line manager Farid Baz who was the head of Engineering department and indirectly to the CTO and the CEO and he has, as part of his job description, contacts with local and multinational suppliers as well as with the ministry of telecom and the telecom regulatory authority.
Moreover, the minister of telecom at that time was Charbel Nahhas who is a follower to Michel Aoun who has signed a treaty with the so-called Hizbullah. Also, Marwan Hayek is belonging to Aoun's movement and the president of the telecom regulatory body is also pro March 8 coalition.



What happened on July 12, 2010? The real story:


Two weeks after arresting Charbel Kazzi, Tarek Rabaa was summoned to the
ministry of defense (on July 12, 2010) where the military intelligence had investigated a french number Tarek had denied to be for any intelligence organization, yet he was subject to torture because he refused their plot regarding the infiltration to the cellular network and suddenly they announced on TV and newspapers the arrest of Tarek Rabaa as a suspected telecom spy.



Unlawful file:


The military intelligence had detained Tarek unlawfully for 32 days without any arrest warrant. After 16 days of kidnapping, on July 27, 2010, the military prosecutor Sakr Sakr, known by the government's delegate to the military tribunal, requested to arrest Tarek and to keep him in the ministry of defense
underground detention center. On July 28, 2010 Sakr Sakr wrongly charged Tarek for collaborating with the Mossad and he demanded to arrest and to investigate with him while he was already arbitrary detained and tortured in the ministry of defense. Tarek Rabaa's file was fabricated before the order of Sakr Sakr and without any monitoring or auditing and he was afterwards swinging from a judge to another in a malicious way while his family was completely unaware of what was going on and unable to meet with him for 42 days.
All procedures applied until today are unlawful and weird. For example, two arrest warrants were issued but they were registered in the registry record as follows: on page 1, 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). On August 12,2010 the first military investigate judge Riad Abu Ghayda issued the formal arrest warrant after 32 days of arbitrary detention, but the registry record was falsified by stating on page 3 that the case was founded on July 28, 2010 by Riad Abu Ghayda! How Abu Ghayda who received the file after Samih el Hajj will have a registry date previous to Samih el Hajj? The case is full of infringements & violations of the lebanese law to the extent the tribunal headed by general Nizar Khalil has replied on all the infringements by considering as normal the unlawful process in swinging the file from a judge to another, the manipulation in the dates
and the pages numbers, the arbitrary detention, and 108 days of physical and psychological torture.
As for his lawyer Nada Rabaa, they didn't inform her about the arrest warrant, they prevented 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.
Tarek had complained the torture & told the military investigate judge about the maltreatment in the ministry of defense but he didn't consider the pain and he didn't entrust any so-called forensic doctor when he saw his very bad physical & psychological situation. The case of Tarek is full of violations, infringements and even plenty of falsifications perpetrated by high ranking level officers in the state
of Lebanon which triggered a coalition of seven international organizations to promptly demand last year the lebanese state to investigate the torture and arbitrary detention and to release Tarek immediately.


Falsified indictment and the plot reveals:


Tarek's file contains neither confession nor evidence and he was suspected based on a French number belonging to a Taxi company called Welcome V&V in Tregastel France. 
While Tarek was arbitrary detained in the ministry of
defense detention center (underground), the so-called Hizbullah & pro-syrians party in Lebanon have triggered a wide defamation campaign telling the Lebanese worldwide, the telecom sector in Lebanon is infiltrated by the israelians after arresting those spies in Alfa company. As a result, they added, the CDR (Call Data Registry) is 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 but seven international organizations have announced Tarek Rabaa 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 coalition.
Tarek's family rallied many times to raise the voice high to stop the oppression and they have 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 19 months and he was suspected wrongly based on a French number which has been revealed to be for a Taxi company named Welcome V&V in France. The number is +33607867583 used by Vanni Tran Vivier, a manager for a transport
company in France (please check this link http://www.numero-tva.info/numero-tva/01/86/01860512.html). 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 intentionally in identifying the number and accused Tarek for spying by saying the number is for the Mossad. Knowing that Welcome V&V was used by Alcatel-Lucent to transport Tarek from the train station in Gingan to the Grand hotel in Perros-Guerec. However when Charbel Kazzi was arrested based on different numbers, the military intelligence had found among Charbel Kazzi's data calls the same French
number who called him in 2008 when he was selected by Alfa company to attend a training at Alcatel-Lucent University. Then the military intelligence committed the
ERROR by not verifying the owner of the number and they had made the link to
accuse Tarek for spying. As long as Tarek was saying NO, he was tortured beastly to end by considering the ex technical director of Cellis Lionel Coussi as the recruiter of Tarek. During the public interrogation of Tarek in the court he has revealed that he didn't meet with Lionel Coussi since 1997 and the intelligence had used this name in the file until 2010 by a scenario directed by the ministry of defense. Please check this link to see who's Lionel Coussi (http://www.linkedin.com/pub/lionel-coussi/17/652/b71) 

it's a scandal for at least the military intelligence, the so-called Hizbullah, for Alfa company from one side and for the state of Lebanon from another side. 
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 Rabaa's lawyer Nada Rabaa has published an article regarding the case
of no case explaining by evidences the innocence of Tarek of such fabricated prosecution and has asked where's the crime? Is travelling to Europe is prohibited? Does receiving a call from a taxi company is not allowed?. Then the case is purely political and not legal at all. From another side, the foreign suppliers already have the infos about every technical detail in Alfa network, so what more to spy on?



Why they had targeted Tarek Rabaa? The chronological facts:


Since Tarek didn't confess for spying in all stages of interrogations and investigations, they fabricated a falsified story by force and torture. The motive behind accusing Tarek Rabaa with a fabricated indictment has at least 5 major reasons:


1. To decredibilize the STL's indictment which accuses four persons affiliated to the so-called Hizbullah
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 will not be approved they will accuse the government to not working for the sake of the country.
3. To protect and 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.
5. Alcatel-Lucent wanted to retaliate for loosing its market share in Lebanon against Huawei in 2008.



The chronological facts of the PLOT:


1. On 23 May, 2009 Der Spiegel published a report revealing that the special tribunal for Lebanon STL will indict the Resistance in assassinating Rafic al Hariri based on cellular data calls.

2. Afterwards, the lebanese intelligence departments become suddenly active and they arrested more than 70 suspected spies until they arrested Charbel Kazzi in June 2010 & Tarek Rabaa in July 2010. Subsequently the resistance had triggered a wide TV campaign targeting in advance the STL's indictment which will accuse them 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 tampered by the israelians to jump to a conclusion: the STL indictment is not reliable.

3. On July 15, 2010, thus 3 days after detaining arbitrary Tarek, the Telecom Regulatory Authority (TRA) headed by Dr Imad rushed to meet with the ex prime minister Saad Hariri and with the deputy so-called Hassan Fadlullah from the resistance under a pretext 'network security issue'. 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 not ratified or signed by Tarek. This confirms that their plan to act as if really the telecom networks are under attack and they stressed on the urgent approval on the fiber optics project.

4. On November 1, 2010, the first military investigator judge Riad Abu Ghayda finalized Tarek Rabaa's interrogation without any confession for spying in spite of all types of pressures they performed on Tarek including physical torture.

5. On November 21, 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 ex minister of telecom Charbel Nahhas together with the telecom regulatory authority as well as the deputy Hassan rushed to carry out a conference press pretending the violation of Telecom sector under the cover of Alfa chairman Marwan Hayek. They based their conference press on the assumption of suspected spies Charbel Kazzi & Tarek Rabaa. At that time, Tarek was transferred to Roumieh jail without indictment yet, but suffering from injuries.

7. Few days after the famous press conference, Riad Abu Ghayda issued on December 6, 2011 a wrong indictment based on lies and he transferred Tarek to the court for prosecution. Riad abu Ghayda had lied in his indictment and he was influenced by the press and the military intelligence.

8. On December 24, 2010 Al-Akhbar newspaper which is pro 8 of March coalition published on its first page a story defaming Tarek Rabaa and it was followed with a TV campaign 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 to kill Rafic Hariri and the campaign against Tarek was re-triggered again by al-Manar TV by insisting on considering Tarek as a spy while he's still under prosecution in the military tribunal where he has 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 as engineering projects are approved by the ministry of Telecom and Alfa management. While Nizar Khalil, the head of the court 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. Lately, in 2011 the hidden goal has been revealed in Tarchiche area. The resistance planned to use implicitly and discretely the fiber network of the ministry of telecommunication. To cover the project 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. He has been accused of knowing an agent in the Mossad called Lionel to discover that Lionel is Lionel Coussi who was working in Lebanon for the account of France Telecom.

Until today, the military court is refusing to release Tarek Rabaa because the so-called Hizbullah is impeding that because he fears the scandal and the consequences of using Tarek Rabaa as a scapegoat to decredibilize the Special Tribunal for Lebanon.
This is a real story of a pretented spying case which has been communicated to public with an obvious target and scandalous file.

The secret plot of the so-called Hizbullah to rule Lebanon


Time has passed and the major weaknesses of the so-called Hizbullah have revealed after the famous July war between Lebanon and the Israelis in 2006 as well as after the assassination of Rafic al Hariri.
The driver to publish such article is the shocking facts that reflect the real face and weaknesses of such armed party in Lebanon dressing the mask of defending the sovereignty of Lebanon but in fact the so-called Hizbullah with his slogan "The Resistance" is executing a Syrian-Iranian direct agenda with the explicit support of Russia and China from one side and the implicit coordination with the Israelis and the cover of American from another side.

Scandalizing facts
1. The assassination of Rafic Al Hariri in 2005
2. July war 2006
3. May 7, 2008 invasion to Beirut
4. The Special Tribunal for Lebanon, the military court and the Telecoms chapter.
5. The fear from change in Syria and from Saad Al Hariri

1. Killing Rafic Al Hariri
The prime minister Rafic al Hariri was assassinated on February 14, 2005 during the Syrian occupation to Lebanon. On the same day the leader of so-called Hizbullah had announced the strong bond with Hariri and revealed meeting with him secretly. After the assassination, Lebanese were split to March 14 who accused the Syrian regime in the assassination versus March 8 coalition which has accused the Israelis in the assassination. The Syrian troops left Lebanon under the manifestation pressure leaving behind them a country with escalated conflicts, but empowering the so-called Hizbullah to take their role.
Pro-Syrians in Lebanon have claimed the Lebanese to ask the question who benefits from Hariri's assassination? They added that Killing Hariri was the reason behind the Syrian's withdrawal from Lebanon and thus they defended the innocence of Syrians from the explosion.

In fact, the massacres in Syria nowadays are an indicator of such criminal regime who is killing not only men but also children and woman. Also, the so-called Hizbullah's leader Hassan Nasrallah had announced on screens he will not permit the collapse of the Syrian regime and already his party is fighting there.
Moreover, before they killed Rafic Hariri in 2005, the pro-Syrian parties in Lebanon had communicated a wrong message to Syrian about "Hariri loss of popularity". Because of that message, who killed Hariri didn't expect the Lebanese will revolt on Syrian and he considered Lebanese will forget easily. A fact on that is the fast cleaning of the explosion area which was criticized by General Ashraf Rifi.
Also, the weakness of the so-called Hizbullah is his lack of understanding in reading what was really going on field to the extent a message was being propagated that the reason for those who were crying on Hariri is not the love but they were crying because no more money to get. Consequently, the so-called Hizbullah had invited the Lebanese to a manifestation on March 8, 2005 to say Goodbye Syria, thus provoking the other part of Lebanese. Then March 14, 2005 manifestation was the answer to March 8 slogan and afterwards the Syrian troops had left Lebanon.

2. July war 2006
After killing Rafic Hariri, the authority of Syrian becomes weaker in Lebanon and the field has become open the Iranian plan to reach their goal and to adapt their strategy accordingly. To hide their goal, they triggered a war with the Israelis in July 2006 and afterwards a wide campaign on so-called traitors in Lebanon and Lebanese start hearing a new type of indictments tailored by the so-called Hizbullah to use it as a pretext to invade Beirut afterwards.
Observers were shocked by Tsipi Livni who was complimenting the Resistance during July war by saying "if the Israelis army cannot defeat the so-called Hizbullah then no other army will defeat them". Tsipi Livni has scandalized an implicit consent to not reach the target they set to disarm the resistance then opening the door to a new era in Lebanon by BLOWING THE BALLOON of the so-called Hizbullah to the extent their leader Hassan had repeated the words of Tsipi Livni to convey a threat message to the Lebanese.
As a reply on Tsipi Livni message, the facts on field during July war had proved the opposite with a major weakness in the so-called Hizbullah communication network as they announced the use of cellular network during the war. Military experts consider using VHF and UHF devices with simplex mode are 99% safer than using digital communication such as GSM because cellular phones can be easily traced compared to VHF. Consequently, the usage of cellular phones by the resistance is a main indicator of the lack of understanding of security issues within the so-called Hizbullah who was blown by Tsipi Livni to give them implicitly the green light to invade Beirut in 2008 because of the private wired transmission network as well as the theory of those they classified as traitors.

3. May 7, 2008 invasion
After assassinating Hariri in 2005 and July war in 2006, the Syrian president Bashar Assad has announced the victory of Lebanon and asked the Resistance to translate this victory to political gain. An agreement between American and Iran took place in 2008 regarding Iraq thus giving the green light to the so-called Hizbullah to invade Beirut. The pretext was to push the government to change the decision taken on May 5, 2008 to dismantle the private network of the resistance. Hundreds of Lebanese were killed under the silence of the UN. What was shocking also the satisfaction of Georges Bush towards the Lebanese army. He expressed his position in an interview on Al-Arabia TV.
After May 7, 2008 the resistance has reached one of its anchor goal to govern Lebanon with a pretext to protect its arms from what they called traitors, but they didn't pay attention that a Special Tribunal for Lebanon is waving in the horizon. This reveals another major weakness in understanding that they cannot hide their real face and plans even if they were supported by Russia, China, Syria and implicitly by Israelis and American.

4. The Special Tribunal for Lebanon, the military court and the Telecoms scandal
Once again the telecom sector is a major parameter that scandalize the real face of the falsified slogan of the so-called Hizbullah. Trying to mystify Hariri's assassination didn't succeed. July war 2006 manifested errors by using cell phones they couldn't prevent when they killed Rafic Hariri.
After they rebalanced their power during 2008 and the triggering of a campaign on suspected spies, Der Spiegel published an article in 2009 revealing an indictment to issue by the Special Tribunal for Lebanon to accuse the resistance in the assassination of Hariri. Consequently, the intelligence in Lebanon commenced in 2009 to arrest randomly Lebanese because of what they call suspected number and to accuse them for spying. They have arrested more than 150 persons and the Lebanese state governed by the so-called Hizbullah has taken the issue as serious matter to complain to the UN as a breach for the resolution 1701.
Why they did that?
The answer is simple: to mask what has been revealed here above and to convey an image to the Lebanese they are strict towards collaborating with the Mossad and thus to distract the population from any implicit agreement. Most of what they called spies have been released or sentenced for just 1 year or 2 years. Some cases' sentences were politicized with the military court headed by Nizar Khalil under the pressure of the Resistance but released by the military court of cassation. Lately, 4 persons sentenced by the military court for 15 and 10 years prison were released after less than 3 years by the military court of cassation to trigger a defamation campaign on the judge Alice Shobtini because she's uncovering implicitly the so-called Hizbullah plans and plots. The most flagrant case is a telecom engineer from Beirut who was working at Alfa, cellular operator, called Tarek Rabaa. He was arrested in 2010 and the Resistance used his story to attack the Special Tribunal for Lebanon indictment. Tarek Rabaa have been announced internationally a victim of torture and he didn't collaborate with the Mossad. However, the military court is refusing to release him because the so-called Hizbullah will be scandalized again. What is weird, is the silent position of the Special Tribunal for Lebanon which has based a case on the cellular calls. Where's the States position? The UN position on oppression?
This is a flagrant weakness in the structure of the resistance.

5. The fear from the change in Syria and from Saad al Hariri:
After May 7, 2008 the Resistance has governed Lebanon by force. The prime minister Saad al Hariri has discovered by his own experience the real face of the so-called Hizbullah in Lebanon which stands on dishonesty which has led to loss of trust. As a young deputy, Saad Al Hariri the son of Rafic al Hariri will be able to courageously face the lies and the conspirators who killed his father. Because he knows their malicious plot, Saad Al Hariri left Lebanon temporarily to support the freedom of the Syrian people, but from another side, 'the masked resistance' fears the change of the regime in Syria which will lead to weakening the authority of all March 8 coalition in Lebanon.
Also, Tarek Rabaa is a citizen from Tarik al Jadidah district in Beirut which is represented in the parliament by Saad al Hariri, thus the so-called is putting a strong pressure on the military court to not release Tarek Rabaa as to target Saad al Hariri from one side, the Special Tribunal for Lebanon from another side as well as to retaliate from Tarik al Jadidah district the masked resistance couldn't invade on May 7, 2008 because they risked to loose the control and drive the country to sectarian war. However, a party fearing a prisoner is not a healthy indicator of strength. A party backed up by Iran, Syria, Russia, the States and the Israelis, yet fearing the son of Rafic al Hariri is another anchor indicator of weakness.

Conclusion:
The so-called Hizbullah with his masked resistance project in Lebanon has done major strategical errors which have led to an obvious conclusion to describe him as a BLOWN BALLOON which will deflate soon if no radical changes are decided inside the organization. The real face of this pro-Iranian party has revealed, his implicit relations with foreign intelligences, the spies he detected lately internally, the exaggeration on some empty suspected spying cases, the lies, the plots to govern Lebanon, supporting the Syrian regime, his intervention in the judicial system and threatening the Lebanese, the defamation campaigns will lead to a collapse of this organization and change will emerge soon with change in Syria and the return of Saad al Hariri. The puzzle is solved.

Targeting the engineer Tarek Rabaa uncovers the plot to decredibilze the Special Tribunal for Lebanon

Hundreds of Lebanese citizens have been arrested and strangely convicted for spying. The big question today is Spying on what in Lebanon? What secrets, either technological or military Lebanon have? Lebanon is importing the technology from abroad and no weapons or equipment secrets are available since years to export. Recently, a new type of spying cases has emerged in Lebanon, the pretended cases of telecom spies. This article is revealing the truth behind fabricating a spying case for a telecom employee and the goal behind such exaggerated and falsified accusations; it's the case of Tarek Rabaa.
Hundred of articles have been published on the net regarding a conspiracy to target the so-called Hizbullah by the Special Tribunal for Lebanon by manipulating the Call Data Registry to indict the Resistance in Lebanon in assassinating the ex-prime minister Rafic Hariri. Sharmine Narwani is one of the reporters who has published an article based on a conspiracy theory by using as input a story fabricated by the military intelligence in Lebanon about Telecom spies and she had based her article on an assumption that the telecom sector in Lebanon was infiltrated by the Israelians while ignoring the real political situation and distribution of power in Lebanon. She used the name of telecom engineer Tarek Rabaa who was suspected in 2010 for collaborating with the Mossad. The following article will reveal a shocking truth about the malicious plan to target Tarek Rabaa by the intelligence of the army which is known in Lebanon by its collaboration with the so-called Hizbullah. Once the reader will understand the truth behind indicting Tarek Rabaa he will easily conclude who targeted Rafic al Hariri.

Who is Tarek Rabaa?
Tarek Rabaa, a 41 years old Lebanese Telecom engineer was working as head of transmission engineering unit at Alfa (http://www.alfa.com.lb), one of the cellular operator in Lebanon, was purposely accused in 2010 for collaborating with the Mossad, but in fact it has been revealed he is a victim of torture, fabricated indictment and a conspiracy by those who planned to undermine the STL's indictment (Special Tribunal for Lebanon http://www.stl-tsl.org) which accuses four persons affiliated to the so-called Hizbullah in Killing Rafic Hariri.
Tarek Rabaa holds two university degrees, a Bachelor in telecom engineering and a Master degree in business administration with distinction. He started his career in 1993 as electronic engineer at Cablevision, a private cable tv company and in 1995 he started his job at Cellis as a transmission engineer. Cellis was owned by France Telecom and Najib Mikati until 2004 during which the company brand name has changed to Alfa with a new management company called Fal-Dete. Fal-Dete had managed the cellular network until November 2008 and was replaced by Orascom, an Egyptian company, until today. The CEO of Cellis was Salah Bouraad with many names for the technical director position such as Bernard Limeul, Lionel Coussi, Patrick Soulard and Patrick Eid. The CEO for Fal-Dete was Ineke Botter and since 2008 three CEO changed from Kamal Bou Farhat to Samer Salameh to end by Marwan Hayek. The CTO (Chief Technical Officer) for Fal-Dete was Felix Wass and for Orascom Lebanon Assad Abou Sleiman. Tarek Rabaa has acquired a strong experience in the field of microwave transmission engineering and his name becomes prominent in this domain as an expert with 17 years of experience. He got promoted to head of transmission engineering unit in 1999 but he couldn't reach higher positions in 2005 because of sectarianism in the company. Tarek is married with no children and he was traveling either to attend trainings and conferences or for having treatment and tourism.
Tarek was among the employees who deal with the suppliers for transmission equipment Alcatel-Lucent, Ericsson, Huawei and Tellabs and he traveled to France, Finland, Sweden, Italy and many other countries as part of his work.
Tarek Rabaa is a Muslim Sunni, raised in Tarik al Jadidah district in Beirut. He is known by his sincerity, transparency, generosity and ethics. On May 7, 2008 the so-called Hizbullah invaded Beirut but he excluded Tarik al Jadidah for strategical and tactical considerations to target this district by arresting Tarek Rabaa in 2010.

Tarek Rabaa's arrest circumstances:
The last trip for Tarek Rabaa before his detention was in April 2010 to Germany aimed at to visit his brother-in-law. The trip was for one week but it was extended to 15 days because of airports' closure due to Iceland's volcano. After his safe return to Lebanon, he was working on the ministry of telecom's plan to expand the transmission network to cope with the fast increase of subscribers in Lebanon with Marwan Hayek assigned as CEO for Alfa. In June 2010, Charbel Kazzi was arrested and charged for collaborating with the Mossad. Charbel Kazzi, a technician, was the head of Radio and Transmission sub-unit in a maintenance department and his office was in Libatel building co-located with dozens of Alfa's employees. Charbel Kazzi was part of the maintenance department, while Tarek Rabaa was part of the engineering department. However, the activity of each department is independent but inter-departmental coordination is needed to improve the network performance. The engineering department has many units which has a planning role whereas the maintenance department's role is to maintain the quality targets set by the ministry of telecom as key performance indicators. The engineering department deals with planning and follows with the suppliers the executions of the ministry's plans then transfer the network to the maintenance department.
After the arrest of Charbel Kazzi, the 8 of March politicians had demanded to hang the spies, thus giving a political cover to the army's intelligence to arrest more and more. The intelligence was visiting Alfa offices daily and Tarek Rabaa was attending to his work normally until July 12, 2010. Tarek reports directly to his line manager Farid Baz who was the head of Engineering department and indirectly to the CTO and the CEO and he has, as part of his job description, contacts with local and multinational suppliers as well as with the ministry of telecom and the telecom regulatory authority. Moreover, the minister of telecom at that time was Charbel Nahhas who is a follower to Michel Aoun who has signed a treaty with the so-called Hizbullah. Also, Marwan Hayek is belonging to Aoun's movement and the president of the telecom regulatory body is also pro March 8 coalition.

What happened on July 12, 2010? The real story:
Two weeks after arresting Charbel Kazzi, Tarek Rabaa was summoned to the ministry of defense (on July 12, 2010) where the military intelligence had investigated a French number Tarek had denied to be for any intelligence organization, yet he was subject to torture because he refused their plot regarding the infiltration to the cellular network and suddenly they announced on TV and newspapers the arrest of Tarek Rabaa as a suspected telecom spy.
Unlawful file:
The military intelligence had detained Tarek unlawfully for 32 days without any arrest warrant. After 16 days of kidnapping, on July 27, 2010, the military prosecutor Sakr Sakr, known by the government's delegate to the military tribunal, requested to arrest Tarek and to keep him in the ministry of defense underground detention center. On July 28, 2010 Sakr Sakr wrongly charged Tarek for collaborating with the Mossad and he demanded to arrest and to investigate with him while he was already arbitrary detained and tortured in the ministry of defense. Tarek Rabaa's file was fabricated before the order of Sakr Sakr and without any monitoring or auditing and he was afterwards swinging from a judge to another in a malicious way while his family was completely unaware of what was going on and unable to meet with him for 42 days. All procedures applied until today are unlawful and weird. For example, two arrest warrants were issued but they were registered in the registry record as follows: on page 1, 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). On August 12,2010 the first military investigate judge Riad Abu Ghayda issued the formal arrest warrant after 32 days of arbitrary detention, but the registry record was falsified by stating on page 3 that the case was founded on July 28, 2010 by Riad Abu Ghayda! How Abu Ghayda who received the file after Samih el Hajj will have a registry date previous to Samih el Hajj? The case is full of infringements & violations of the Lebanese law to the extent the tribunal headed by general Nizar Khalil has replied on all the infringements by considering as normal the unlawful process in swinging the file from a judge to another, the manipulation in the dates and the pages numbers, the arbitrary detention, and 108 days of physical and psychological torture.
As for his lawyer Nada Rabaa, they didn't inform her about the arrest warrant, they prevented 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.
Tarek had complained the torture & told the military investigate judge about the maltreatment in the ministry of defense but he didn't consider the pain and he didn't entrust any so-called forensic doctor when he saw his very bad physical & psychological situation. The case of Tarek is full of violations, infringements and even plenty of falsifications perpetrated by high ranking level officers in the state of Lebanon which triggered a coalition of seven international organizations to promptly demand last year the Lebanese state to investigate the torture and arbitrary detention and to release Tarek immediately.

Falsified indictment and the plot reveals:
Tarek's file contains neither confession nor evidence and he was suspected based on a French number belonging to a Taxi company called Welcome V&V in Tregastel France. 
While Tarek was arbitrary detained in the ministry of defense detention center (underground), the so-called Hizbullah & pro-Syrians party in Lebanon have triggered a wide defamation campaign telling the Lebanese worldwide, the telecom sector in Lebanon is infiltrated by the israelians after arresting those spies in Alfa company. As a result, they added, the CDR (Call Data Registry) is 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 but seven international organizations have announced Tarek Rabaa 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 coalition.
Tarek's family rallied many times to raise the voice high to stop the oppression and they have 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 19 months and he was suspected wrongly based on a French number which has been revealed to be for a Taxi company named Welcome V&V in France. The number is +33607867583 used by Vanni Tran Vivier, a manager for a transport
company in France (please check this link http://www.numero-tva.info/numero-tva/01/86/01860512.html). 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 intentionally in identifying the number and accused Tarek for spying by saying the number is for the Mossad. Knowing that Welcome V&V was used by Alcatel-Lucent to transport Tarek from the train station in Gingan to the Grand hotel in Perros-Guerec. However when Charbel Kazzi was arrested based on different numbers, the military intelligence had found among Charbel Kazzi's data calls the same French number who called him in 2008 when he was selected by Alfa company to attend a training at Alcatel-Lucent University. Then the military intelligence committed the
ERROR by not verifying the owner of the number and they had made the link to accuse Tarek for spying. As long as Tarek was saying NO, he was tortured beastly to end by considering the ex technical director of Cellis Lionel Coussi as the recruiter of Tarek. During the public interrogation of Tarek in the court he has revealed that he didn't meet with Lionel Coussi since 1997 and the intelligence had used this name in the file until 2010 by a scenario directed by the ministry of defense. Please check this link to see who's Lionel Coussi (http://www.linkedin.com/pub/lionel-coussi/17/652/b71) 

it's a scandal for at least the military intelligence, the so-called Hizbullah, for Alfa company from one side and for the state of Lebanon from another side. 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 Rabaa's lawyer Nada Rabaa has published an article regarding the case of no case explaining by evidences the innocence of Tarek of such fabricated prosecution and has asked where's the crime? Is traveling to Europe is prohibited? Does receiving a call from a taxi company is not allowed?. Then the case is purely political and not legal at all. From another side, the foreign suppliers already have the infos about every technical detail in Alfa network, so what more to spy on?

Why they had targeted Tarek Rabaa? The chronological facts:
Since Tarek didn't confess for spying in all stages of interrogations and investigations, they fabricated a falsified story by force and torture. The motive behind accusing Tarek Rabaa with a fabricated indictment has at least 5 major reasons:
1. To decredibilize the STL's indictment which accuses four persons affiliated to the so-called Hizbullah
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 will not be approved they will accuse the government to not working for the sake of the country.
3. To protect and 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.
5. Alcatel-Lucent wanted to retaliate for loosing its market share in Lebanon against Huawei in 2008.

The chronological facts of the PLOT:
1. On 23 May, 2009 Der Spiegel published a report revealing that the special tribunal for Lebanon STL will indict the Resistance in assassinating Rafic al Hariri based on cellular data calls.
2. Afterwards, the Lebanese intelligence departments become suddenly active and they arrested more than 70 suspected spies until they arrested Charbel Kazzi in June 2010 & Tarek Rabaa in July 2010. Subsequently the resistance had triggered a wide TV campaign targeting in advance the STL's indictment which will accuse them 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 tampered by the israelians to jump to a conclusion: the STL indictment is not reliable.
3. On July 15, 2010, thus 3 days after detaining arbitrary Tarek, the Telecom Regulatory Authority (TRA) headed by Dr Imad rushed to meet with the ex prime minister Saad Hariri and with the deputy so-called Hassan Fadlullah from the resistance under a pretext 'network security issue'. 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 not ratified or signed by Tarek. This confirms that their plan to act as if really the telecom networks are under attack and they stressed on the urgent approval on the fiber optics project.
4. On November 1, 2010, the first military investigator judge Riad Abu Ghayda finalized Tarek Rabaa's interrogation without any confession for spying in spite of all types of pressures they performed on Tarek including physical torture.
5. On November 21, 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 ex minister of telecom Charbel Nahhas together with the telecom regulatory authority as well as the deputy Hassan rushed to carry out a conference press pretending the violation of Telecom sector under the cover of Alfa chairman Marwan Hayek. They based their conference press on the assumption of suspected spies Charbel Kazzi & Tarek Rabaa. At that time, Tarek was transferred to Roumieh jail without indictment yet, but suffering from injuries.
7. Few days after the famous press conference, Riad Abu Ghayda issued on December 6, 2011 a wrong indictment based on lies and he transferred Tarek to the court for prosecution. Riad abu Ghayda had lied in his indictment and he was influenced by the press and the military intelligence.
8. On December 24, 2010 Al-Akhbar newspaper which is pro 8 of March coalition published on its first page a story defaming Tarek Rabaa and it was followed with a TV campaign 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 to kill Rafic Hariri and the campaign against Tarek was re-triggered again by al-Manar TV by insisting on considering Tarek as a spy while he's still under prosecution in the military tribunal where he has 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 as engineering projects are approved by the ministry of Telecom and Alfa management. While Nizar Khalil, the head of the court 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. Lately, in 2011 the hidden goal has been revealed in Tarchiche area. The resistance planned to use implicitly and discretely the fiber network of the ministry of telecommunication. To cover the project 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. He has been accused of knowing an agent in the Mossad called Lionel to discover that Lionel is Lionel Coussi who was working in Lebanon for the account of France Telecom.
Until today, the military court is refusing to release Tarek Rabaa because the so-called Hizbullah is impeding that because he fears the scandal and the consequences of using Tarek Rabaa as a scapegoat to decredibilize the Special Tribunal for Lebanon.
This is a real story of a pretented spying case which has been communicated to public with an obvious target and scandalous file.
