Al-Hajjar ready to leave
Lebanese Interior Minister Ahmad al-Hajjar announced stepped-up measures to combat robberies and pickpocketing, including investigative and intelligence work and more patrols in coordination with the army. He acknowledged, however, that the Internal Security Forces lack personnel and equipment. Five robberies were recorded in Beirut between November 1 and 6, while October saw 49 robberies and 33 pickpocketing incidents. Al-Hajjar denied reports of six robberies in 45 minutes, clarifying that three incidents were recorded that day. He said 16 people were arrested in August, 31 in September and 34 in October in connection with these crimes. He stressed that authorities were following up on incidents and addressing shortcomings, and that the figures did not indicate a widespread breakdown in security.
