General Security Busts Cell of Four Members on Terror Charges

The General Security arrested four Lebanese nationals suspected of forming a cell having links to a terror group, and working in its favor, the Directorate of General Security said.

The General Security said the cell was comprised of H.N., A.Z., M.F. and M.H.F. During interrogations with H.N., who is also known by his nickname Abou Yazid, he confessed to having links to a terror group and of recruiting a number of youths, including the ones mentioned above, in favor of the organization.

They have all confessed to the charges.

H.N. has also confessed to broadcasting the beliefs of the organization through internet and social media outlets, in a bid to attract the youth and urge them to join the ranks of the organization.

He had been preparing to move to Syria's Reqqa, via Turkey, to join and fight along the ranks of the organization.

The suspects were later referred to the related authorities. Efforts continue to arrest all parties involved.
