Army Refers Detained Terrorists to Judicial Authorities

The Army Intelligence referred on Saturday six detainees to the judicial authorities for having links to the terrorist cell led by jihadist Mohammed al Satem, the army said in a statement.

“The army referred six detainees of the terrorist cell led by fugitive Mohammed al-Satem to the judiciary. The cell had plans to establish, in collaboration with another group in Khirbet Daoud, a security zone to target and control army positions in a bid to facilitate the entry of Islamic State members from Syria to Lebanon to establish an emirate in the area of Akkar,” the statement added.

The army confiscated from their houses large quantities of weapons, military ammunition, grenades, narcotics and electronic parts.
