Military Examining Magistrate Imad al-Zain issued on Tuesday arrest warrants against two Syrians for planting explosives that targeted a Hizbullah convoy in the Bekaa Valley.

Al-Zain issued the warrant against Amer Hamdan after interrogating him, said the state-run National News Agency.

He issued a similar warrant against another Syrian identified as Mohtasem Hamdan, NNA said.

Amer Hamdan is already in custody of authorities, but Mohtasem Hamdan remains at large, a judicial source told Agence France Presse.

Amer Hamdan, from Zabadani near Damascus, was arrested on July 23, a week after the latest blast targeting a Hizbullah convoy in the Bekaa valley.

One man was killed and three others wounded in the July 16 attack that targeted a convoy belonging to Hizbullah on the Masnaa road.

It was the fourth time that a vehicle had been targeted by an explosive device in the Bekaa region, which is a stronghold of Hizbullah.

Speaking to AFP on condition of anonymity, the source said the two suspects are supporters of the Syrian opposition to President Bashar Assad.

Bless Magistrate Imad al-Zain ( from the South) for issuing arrest warrants against these 2 takfiri syrians who ambushed one of the Islamic Iranian Resistance convoys heading to the Masnaa crossing to participate in the war in Syria and to kill syrian people. This act demonstrates the true spirit of co-operation between the LAF and the Resistance. Our armed forces along with the resistance are one and the same, yet they depict how an armed sectarian militia can co-exist side by side, checkpoint by checkpoint, hand in hand with the official armed forces. Bless you

Too bad Hezbollah invited the "takfiris" to come to Lebanon for the sake of saving the Syrian regime.

This is so complicated. We have armed HA militias running around approved by the state, going to fight in foreign wars that the state and most of the population are against HA involvement. But then you have these Sunni extremists that are running around as a result of HA involvement. Look what HA has done and the baggage we all must tolerate. Now we have a sectarian militia who is not solely an Israeli resistance and we have takfiri wackos running around sponsored by rich Saudi. What a mess! Don't forget we have Aoun vs Geagea going on because we both know each side is wrong 100pct of the time and cannot agree on anything.
