Charges Issued against Naim Abbas, 20 Other Terror Suspects
The military prosecutor charged on Monday 21 suspects, including an al-Qaida-linked Abdullah Azzam Brigades official, for belonging to an armed terrorist network.
Four of the suspects, including terrorist Naim Abbas, a Palestinian described as Abdullah Azzam Brigades' number two man in Lebanon, are in custody.
The charges issued against them by Judge Saqr Saqr include transporting booby-trapped vehicles from Syria to Lebanon.
Abbas was also charged with involvement in two bombings that have recently rocked the Haret Hreik district of Beirut's southern suburbs.
He was arrested by the Lebanese army in the Beirut neighborhood of Corniche al-Mazraa on Feb. 12.
Several of the latest bombings in Hizbullah strongholds in Beirut's southern suburbs and the Bekaa valley have been claimed by the Abdullah Azzam Brigades whose leader, Majed al-Majed, was captured by Lebanese authorities in December and died in custody later.
