The Lebanese army seized on Thursday goods hidden in five small trucks for the purpose of smuggling them to Syria through the town of Deir al-Ashaer, the National News Agency reported.
NNA said a Lebanese army patrol made the discovery on the Kfarqouq-Yanta road in Rashaya.
The military is inspecting the goods, it said.
Last week, a judicial source told As Safir daily that a Lebanese and two Syrians have admitted to trying to smuggle arms to Syria to support anti-regime protestors in the neighboring country.
The newspaper said the army intelligence thwarted the plot after it raided a neighborhood of the Beirut district of Tariq al-Jdideh and arrested Lebanese Ibrahim M. and Syrians Assef F. and Bassel Q.
The army seized in the raid Rocket Propelled Grenades, hand grenades, Kalashnikov rifles, night-vision goggles and Inerga-type RPGs, As Safir added.
