إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
The Lebanese army said on Tuesday that it has arrested a Lebanese man in the northeastern border town of Arsal overnight on charges of participating in attacks on army bases last year.
A military communique said Hassan Mohammed Chahine was apprehended “for participating along with others in attacks on army bases during the Arsal clashes in August 2014.”
The deadly gunbattles erupted after jihadists from al-Nusra Front and the Islamic State extremist group overran the town.
The militants took with them hostages from the army and police and later executed four of them. The rest remain in captivity on Arsal's outskirts in the Syrian region of Qalamoun.
The army communique said that a military unit also arrested in the area of Deir Ashash Syrian national Mohammed Mustafa Derbas on suspicion of committing terrorist acts.
Derbas was driving a car with a fake license plate and was carrying a fake ID, it said.
The two suspects were referred to the appropriate authorities, the communique added.

Normally a legal window of trial should be enough, thereafter there's no need to keep him in our jail and waste the taxpayer's money on him, either hang him in public or keep him as bargaining chip to release our hostages held by Al Nusra. However I would not treat him well, just as I wouldn't treat such dirt as Tarek Yatim either, all such people should find a fitting end to their days, in agony.
