Weapons, Ammunition Seized at Naameh Arms Depot
A cache of weapons and military equipment was seized Thursday in the coastal town of Naameh, around 20 kilometers south of Beirut.
“State Security agents raided an arms depot in Naameh and seized weapons, ammunition, hand grenades and military equipment,” al-Jadeed television reported.
The TV network published pictures of the confiscated items on its website.
Earlier on Thursday, al-Mayadeen TV said “security forces raided an arms depot and arrested a man belonging to the Salafist movement in the Naameh area."
In August 2013, around 250 kilograms of TNT and other explosive material, fuses and detonators were found in a car parked in an underground garage in Naameh.
Detained top Qaida-linked militant Naim Abbas has recently confessed that the Naameh car bombing ring busted in August 2013 had links to the the Qaida-linked Abdullah Azzam Brigades.
The Naameh cell members are allegedly involved in the Ruweis bombing that shook Beirut's southern suburbs on August 15 2013, killing more than 20 people and wounding at least 300 others.
The Naameh ring members Issa Aa., Wissam Aa.and Khaled M. were arrested, however the whereabouts of S. B. and M. A. are still unknown.
