REPORT: Protesters reopen roads at Tripoli’s Abou Ali roundabout
All roads at Tripoli’s Abou Ali roundabout were reopened on Saturday overnight after they had been blocked since last Wednesday by protesters calling for the release of detainees from Bab al-Tabbaneh.         

The decision to reopen the roads was made following a meeting between a number of Sheikhs and demonstrators.        

The state-run National News Agency (NNA) reported on Wednesday that Ziad Allouki, one of Tripoli's axis leaders, was taken back to the Roumieh prison after undergoing medical tests.        

As soon as news broke out on the state of his health a number of protesters blocked various roads in Tripoli with burning tires, demanding his release from the Roumieh prison.            

NNA added that hand grenades were tossed near the Naseri Mosque, pointing that Lebanese Armed Forces were deployed in the northern Lebanese city to contain the situation.              

Two months ago, the Lebanese army issued a statement whereby it said that a number of Tripoli militant chiefs turned themselves over to the military intelligence.                

"Ziad Allouki, Saad al-Masri, Khaled Qawwas and Omar Mheish, who are wanted on several arrest warrants, have turned themselves in," the military said.
            
In April, army troops started implementing, in cooperation with the security apparatuses, a security plan in the northern city of Tripoli.                

This comes after the cabinet tasked the army and security forces with controlling the security situation in Tripoli and the eastern Bekaa Valley in areas bordering Syria.        

Disputes from neighboring Syria's civil war frequently inflame sectarian grievances in Tripoli.            

These clashes pit gunmen from both the mostly Sunni Bab Tabbaneh district that supports the uprising in Syria, and the Jabal Mohsen district which mostly comprises residents of Syrian President Bashar Assad's Alawite sect, a Shiite Islam offshoot.
