Fadl Shaker denies killing Lebanese soldiers

Arab retired singer Fadl Shaker revealed his position from the controversial case related to the attack that targeted a number of Lebanese military personnel in south Lebanon and led to the killing of 11 elements of the Lebanese army.

Shaker said, in a statement to “Al Maghrib Today”, “I believe in my innocence from all accusations against me in this issue. All the data indicated that I was not there at the time of the battle, especially since the declarations of some of those who actually participated in the clash showed that I did not participate. Even surveillance cameras inside the Bilal bin Rabah mosque compound did not monitor me.”

He stressed, “I am convinced that the logical dealings with my file will reach the stage of innocence, as long as there is no security offense against me and all that is there is a judgment that condemns me as a Syrian who attacked freedom of opinion. As everyone knows in Lebanon there is a lot of space for that issue.”

On the other hand, Sources revealed that Arab singer Fadl Shaker changed his residency after the latest threats that the Lebanese security authorities will raid Ain Al Helwa refugees camp, adding that the former singer left his house since Friday.

They added that he was thinking to surrender himself to the Lebanese authorities to end his problem with them, while he retreated due to his fears over the verdicts that could be issued against him without serious trial. He added that he was thinking to leave Ain Al Helwa camp not to face verdicts while to ensure justice.

They added that he is not a part of any settlement to extradite the wanted people in the case of Ein Al Helwa Camp in the southern area of Lebanon. He added that he has been sentenced in absentia in a case related to the insult of a neighboring state which is Syria.
