Two Terror Suspects Arrested in Fresh Arsal Raid

Two terror suspects were arrested Thursday in an army raid in the northeastern border town of Arsal, the army said.

The raid in Arsal's Ain al-Shaab area resulted in the arrest of Lebanese national Abdul Majid Ali Ammoun and Syrian national Mohammed Faisal al-Waw, an army statement said.

Ammoun is accused of “selling arms, monitoring the movements of army units and communicating with terrorists,” the statement added.

Al-Waw is meanwhile accused of “belonging to the terrorist Islamic State group and taking part in fighting against the army.”

“A van and a motorcycle with no legal papers were seized in Ammoun's possession,” the military said.

The detainees and the confiscated vehicles were referred to the relevant authorities for further measures.

The army has arrested dozens of terror suspects in recent days in the Arsal region.
