Two Teens Arrested for Threatening to 'Blow Up Police Stations'
Two teenagers have been arrested on charges of calling the police and threatening to blow up police stations, the Internal Security Forces announced Tuesday.
“A person called the Zgharta police operations center on Monday, threatening to blow up a police station, especially the Zgharta police station,” the ISF said, adding that the person called the center “around 15 times.”
“Following intensive investigations, members of the Zgharta police station managed to arrest the suspect on Tuesday in Miryata,” the ISF said.
It identified the suspect as 14-year-old Lebanese national M. D.
“During interrogation in the presence of his father, the boy confessed to the charges and accused 18-year-old Lebanese national A. J. of inciting him to make the phone calls,” the ISF added.
The 18-year-old teenager denied any link to the issue after he was arrested, the ISF said.
The two detainees have been referred to the Tripoli judicial police department for further investigations, it added.
