Freed German prisoners seeks Lebanese nationality

The German Steven Smeirak, who was released by Israel last week in the course of exchanging prisoners with the Lebanese Hizbullah Party, started yesterday travel measures to Lebanon in his goal to get the Lebanese nationality.

German police sources said that the police and all security agencies are watching Smeirak closely after a visit he had made to the Lebanese embassy in Berlin.

Worthy mentioning that Smeirak who embraced Islam and joined the Hizbullah party in Lebanon was spending a ten- year imprisonment sentence in Israel under the charge of planning to carry out an attack against the Israeli forces in 1997.
