ISF: Killer of Police Officer Arrested in Baalbek
The suspected killer of a policeman was arrested during a raid on his house west of the eastern city of Baalbek, the Internal Security Forces announced on Wednesday.
The suspect, Mohammed Shamas, is wanted for his involvement in the killing of an officer, ISF said, without giving details on where and when he committed the murder.
Several other suspects were arrested during the raid, the ISF communique added.
But media reports said Shamas was the suspected killer of Lt. Ali Nasrallah during an ambush in Baalbek in 2012.
Wednesday's raid was carried out at dawn in the town of Bouday, the state-run National News Agency said.
NNA said Shamas was wounded along with two ISF officers, Fadi Hellani and Ali Sawan, and Syrian Ahmed al-Idawi was killed in an ensuing gunfight.
