The Lebanese Forces on Monday denied it had any link with the attack in Ouyoun Orghosh, vowing legal action against March 8 media outlets for allegedly reporting false information.
"The accusations broadcasted by March 8 media are a forestallment of the Lebanese judiciary's work, particularly that two of the suspects are still held at the (army) intelligence directorate," the LF said in a statement.
March 8 media outlets said Sunday that LF gunmen had opened fire on the family in Ouyoun Orghosh and then clashed with the army. Four people, who reportedly admitted to being LF members, were arrested, according to the reports.
The LF statement accused the media organizations of taking orders from "their masters behind the border" to alter facts and distort the image of the party "which spearheads the independent and sovereign" movement in the country.
"The LF is making preparations to take judicial procedures against March 8 media that invented such lies," it added.
