Report: Hizbullah in Possession of 'Dangerous' Nusra Front Documents

Hizbullah is in possession of documents belonging to terrorist groups containing maps on roads in Beirut's southern suburbs, al-Joumhouria newspaper reported.

The road maps of the Qaida-linked al-Nusra Front contained signs, the daily said.

It did not explain how the Shiite party was able to seize the files. But said that Hizbullah was also in possession of papers that had “dangerous information” on al-Nusra Front and its supporters and financiers.

They will be made public at the appropriate time, the daily said.

Hizbullah has also information that 15 booby-trapped vehicles have entered Lebanon through “illegal and secret crossings” after the fall of the central Syrian town of Yabrud to government troops, al-Joumhouria said.

The fall of the strategic town came after months of fighting in the mountainous Qalamoun region between Syrian President Bashar Assad's forces and Hizbullah fighters on one side and the rebels, mostly Islamist militant groups, on the other.

The rebels fleeing Yabrud have infiltrated Lebanon's northeastern town of Arsal, whose residents support the uprising against Assad.
