Report: Hizbullah Informs Army on Dormant Terrorist Networks
Hizbullah has informed the Lebanese Army Intelligence on the details of dormant cells plotting terrorist attacks in Lebanon, al-Joumhouria newspaper reported on Tuesday.
“The party has a map on the locations of these dormant terrorist cells that are plotting dangerous bombings and its leadership has informed the Army Intelligence about it,” the daily said.
The majority of these networks belong to al-Qaida and are covering their presence in Lebanon through fictitious companies engaged in trade, it said.
Hizbullah has arrested several terrorists but has not handed them over to the army, al-Joumhouria added.
The report said that Hizbullah and Amal leaderships have put a plan to pursue Takfiri groups in Lebanon after the latest bombings that targeted their strongholds in Beirut's southern suburbs and the eastern Bekaa Valley.
Al-Joumhouria also quoted security officials as saying that the Army Intelligence was pursuing Lebanese, Palestinian and Syrian suspects in southern Lebanon, the Bekaa and Beirut's southern suburbs.
The suspects have left their homes and the Army is seeking to know their whereabouts over fears that they could be suicide bombers, the officials said.
Meanwhile, al-Akhbar newspaper said Tuesday that a report about Hizbullah dismantling a cell belonging to The Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant was not true.
No such network was arrested in Beirut's southern suburbs in the past weeks, al-Akhbar said.
