    Al-Qaida-inspired militants escape Lebanese jail

    BEIRUT (AP) — Lebanese security officials say five prisoners, most of them members of an al-Qaida-inspired group, have escaped the country's main jail.

    The officials say it is not clear how the four Lebanese and one Sudanese citizen broke out of the heavily-guarded Roumieh prison east of Beirut on Saturday.

    Local media say the Lebanese are members of the al-Qaida-inspired Fatah Islam group. The officials have refused to say whether the escaped convicts included Fatah Islam members.

    Fatah Islam fought the Lebanese army inside a Palestinian refugee camp in northern Lebanon in the summer of 2007.

    The officials say Lebanese troops, backed by an army helicopter, have set up a security cordon around the prison and are searching all cars leaving the area. They spoke on condition of anonymity in line with regulations.

        Heba. You must face the facts. These people,. these criminals, are Muslim - and they are being helped by other Muslims who have some interest in seeing them released from prisons.Ok...Let's say it's NOT Al-Qiada..If it is NOT, then it must be some arm of the Muslim Brotherhood or some other terrorist organization. Truth is truth. You must recognize it! الحقيقة هي الحقيقة. عليك أن تعترف ب

      "Al-Qaida-inspired militants escape Lebanese jail with the help from Chuck Norris."

      As always it is an inside job. The guards are members of the same Islamic Religious groups so what do you expect. Religion trumps law and order in their world so putting them in jail is a waste of time.

      I just paid $22.87 for an iPad2-64GB and my girlfriend loves her Panasonic Lumix GF 1 Camera that we got for $38.76 there arriving tomorrow by UPS. I will never pay such expensive retail prices in stores again. Especially when I also sold a 40 inch LED TV to my boss for $675 which only cost me $62.81 to buy. Here is the website we use to get it all from, OfferPenny.com

      Come on man really! You have got to be kidding me, we now have more islamic terrorist roaming the streets. Since the Muslims took over the Christian nation of Lebanon, the country has gotten more stupiter, which is not a surprise, I mean the Muslims are the ones that believe that Mohhamad ( may he burn in hell ) was a prophet of God. It figuers since the muslims are so stupid that they actually think that by commiting suicide and killing innocent people they will recieve 70 black eyed virgins. The muslims are such idiots that they believe the rambling and diatribe in the koran to be the word of god, that book is so full of contracontradictions that only an idiot would think it to be the word of god. The koran goes as far as to say that Alexander the great was a prophet of God, when he was a pagan that believed in many gods. when did he prophesied show your proof? Alexander was probably a fake prophet just like mohhamad, it takes one to know one.

      Such inspiration. If they really wanted to terorize someone they would be inspired by the usa.
