Army Circulates Picture of 'Dangerous Fugitive'
The army on Monday circulated a picture of a man whom it described as a “dangerous fugitive” who is wanted “for committing a certain crime.”
It called on “anyone who recognizes him to call the Army Command's operations center on the number 1701 or to inform the nearest military post or to use the LAF Shield mobile phone app.”
Later on Monday, MTV said "army intelligence agents arrested in Hermel the dangerous fugitive whose picture was circulated today."
But al-Jadeed TV said "the suspect whose picture was recently circulated by security forces in Hermel has been arrested."
The development comes after the army defused a booby-trapped car Sunday in the outskirts of the Baalbek town of Ham. The vehicle which infiltrated Lebanon from Syria contained around 240 kilos of explosives, 10 kilos of extremely flammable material and two 122 mm artillery shells.
On Wednesday, the army announced the arrest of top militant Naim Abbas, one of the leaders of the Qaida-linked Abdullah Azzam Brigades. Following his interrogation, he told the army about a car rigged with more than 100 kilos of explosives which was dismantled in Beirut's Corniche al-Mazraa district.
