The army succeeded on Monday in arresting a suspect linked to the bombing of a Hizbullah convoy near the al-Masnaa border-crossing on July 16, reported the National News Agency on Tuesday.
It said that the army intelligence arrested a Syrian national in the Bekaa town of Majdal Anjal on suspicion of planting the explosive that targeted the convoy.
It identified the suspect as A.H., who hails from the Syrian city of al-Zabadani.
Two people were wounded in a bomb attack against a Hizbullah convoy that was traveling towards the Lebanese border-crossing with Syria on July 16.
One vehicle was struck by the explosion near the al-Masnaa border-crossing, while the other vehicles in the convoy escaped the attack and continued along the road.
The bombing is the fourth time that a vehicle has been targeted by an explosive device in the Bekaa region, which is a stronghold of Hizbullah.
On July 7, three people were injured, including two army troops when two bombs exploded in the area.
That attack followed a similar blast on June 28, when two small bombs hit a Hizbullah convoy in the area, detonating as four cars passed, a security source said.
Hizbullah has dispatched fighters to battle alongside the Syrian regime against rebels seeking the overthrow of President Bashar Assad.
The party had justified its intervention in Syria by saying it was backing popular committees defending Lebanese-inhabited towns in Syrian territory near Lebanon's border from attacks by rebels and extremists. It had also admitted that its fighters were guarding Shiite holy shrines in Damascus province.

Now it sems that Hesballah is strongest force in Lebanon, even stronger than the country itself, as having basic position in most of institutions, just to keep them not working or be empty. It seems also that HA are going to fulfil the dream of the Orthodox from the North Lebanon of a "Great Syria" and soon lebanon would lose its soverignty!
Destroy HA structure and powers, otherwise forget Lebanon. The dream of Lebanese independance will soon end!

Interesting how they found these guys so quickly but they can't catch who assassinated Toueini and Gemayel.

...and if they by accident DO find someone linked with murdercases like Hariri and murder attempts like Harb then they are not allowed to talk with them...

Yea I agree, it's all out in the open now. This shows that we are capable of enforcing the law, but only when the will is there. How can a militia pass convoys full of gunmen through the crossing, no questions asked?

Great job LAF, it's nice to see criminals being pursued and caught... Now if you would plz continue your win streak, and follow the perpetrators seeking refuge in da7yi and b2a3.
