Two of Three Women in Seized Labweh Booby-Trapped Car Acquitted
Two of the three women that were arrested for transporting a booby-trapped car on the Arsal-al-Labweh road were acquitted on Saturday afternoon, the state-run National News Agency reported.
"State Commissioner to the Military Court Judge Saqr Saqr ordered the release of Hala Rayed and Khadijeh Audeh for not having any links with the incident,” the NNA said.
However, the third suspect, Joumana Hmayyed, was kept in custody, according to the news agency.
The army intercepted on Wednesday a booby-trapped vehicle on the Arsal-al-Labweh road in the Bekaa region.
The Army Command announced in a statement that the vehicle had arrived in Lebanon from Syria's Yabrud region.
Containing three women, the car was going to be transported to Beirut where it was to be handed over to would-be suicide-bombers.
Quoting military sources, LBCI television said the women confessed to plotting "a triple bombing during which the car and two suicide bombers were supposed to blow up."
