Army Intelligence Apprehends Militant Group Leader in Bekaa
The army intelligence detained the leader of a terrorist group in the Bekaa as he was heading to the outskirts of Arsal to join armed men, the state-run National News Agency reported Saturday.
NNA said that Syrian national Hazem B. was arrested on Friday in the town of al-Labweh.
He is allegedly the leader of a terror group.
Hazem was heading to the outskirts of the northeastern border town of Arsal to join armed groups.
There are fears that jihadists from the Islamic State, which has captured a swathe of Iraq and Syria, would threaten to destabilize the security situation in Lebanon.
The army had bolstered its patrols in Arsal and other border towns "to prevent any attack on the area,” in light of the intensified battles between Hizbullah and al-Qaida-affiliate al-Nusra Front in Syria's al-Qalmoun area.
