The Army Intelligence arrested on Sunday a suspected terrorist in the Bekaa region of al-Qaa, reported the National News Agency.

It said that it arrested Qassem al-Atrash and that it is verifying his identity.

Voice of Lebanon radio (93.3) had identified him as Hussein Qassem al-Atrash, the uncle of Omar al-Atrash, who is charged with transporting suicide bombers to Lebanon.

Omar Atrash, 24, has also been charged with detonating bombs and explosive-rigged vehicles, attacking the army in Majdelyoun and al-Awwali bridge areas in the southern city of Sidon in December and launching rockets on Israel.

He was arrested in January.

Hussein Qassem al-Atrash is suspected of having cooperated with his nephew in transporting booby-trapped vehicles to Lebanon.
