Conflict Incident Report
Man impersonating ISF assaults another
The Internal Security Forces has arrested a man who was accused of kidnapping and assaulting a man while posing as a lieutenant at the ISF’s Interpol office, the agency said in a statement Sunday.
The suspect was identified as M.F., a Lebanese national born in 1988. He was arrested in Nabatieh’s Jarjou along with an accomplice, identified as A.J., a Lebanese national born in 1990.
The ISF said it arrested the two after a video circulated on social media showing a man, identified Aa. B., “accusing M.F. and others of kidnapping and harming him as a result of a drug- and money-related dispute while claiming to be a security officer.”
Then, on Dec. 3, the south Lebanon police station received information that M.F. and A.J. had fled from Beirut to hide out in a house in southern Lebanon’s Iqlim al-Tuffah, the statement said.
“One of them had claimed to be a security officer, telling people that he was a 1st lieutenant in the ISF’s Interpol office,” the statement said.
An ISF spokesperson could not be reached for further details.
