lebanese army in tripoliTripoli’s municipality has begun installing security cameras in various parts of the northern city, the National News Agency reported Friday.

Tripoli municipality chief Nader al-Ghazal said the cameras are connected to a computer program that will inform a new security center of any suspicious activity.

“Prevention is better that [any] remedial [action.] Therefore, we have begun to install highly accurate and sensitive cameras,” al-Ghazal said in a statement.

“[The cameras] are connected to a smart program that can inform the security room [we] intend to create in the municipality’s [main building] of any suspicious activity.”

He also noted that the operation would be carried out in cooperation with the Internal Security Forces.

The NNA added that the electronics giant Samsung participated in the installation of cameras on Tripoli’s Azmi Street crossroads, and that the project will eventually include all the city’s main squares and public roads.

Meanwhile, the ISF’s information branch has set up stationary and moveable checkpoints across Tripoli as part of the national security plan for the city, and is checking the licensing papers of passing motorists.

    OHHH .. Is THAT where the cell and internet ‘band-width’ went lately ???
    One way to stop us showing the body on ‘Skype’ I guess … can’t even use the programme any more.
    But now, just like Westerners, EVERYONE can lift a finger to the cameras. :-))))

    The ‘Spies’ are going to suck up the whole thing. Bad enough that they kept popping in before.

    Too bad if you can’t call someone – but maybe ‘they’ didn’t like the ‘chats’ anyway.
    The degradation over the last three years has been aggravating for sure.
    Get those fingers ready, folks.

      2 days later .. still can’t seem to raise anyone in Lebanon, let alone Tripoli.
      Can’t accuse any ‘Gov. specialist’ there about knowledge of internet bandwidth-needs … slowest in the world already. ‘Central intelligence’ might be a ‘miss-nomer’.
