General Security: Five Detained Syrians Confessed to Belonging to Terrorist Network

The General Security announced on Wednesday that Syrian detainees it had arrested on Monday confessed to belonging to a terrorist network, reported the National News Agency.

It said that the five Syrians, who had entered Lebanon illegally, confessed to transporting a booby-trapped vehicle from Syria to Lebanon.

The suspects transported a pickup truck, on behalf of the Nusra Front, from Syria's town of Yabrud to the outskirts of the Lebanese region of Arsal.

The suspects have since been referred to State Commissioner to the Military Court Judge Saqr Saqr for further investigations.

The General Security added that it will not “hesitate in pursuing terrorist organizations,” saying that it will continue its efforts in coordination with the other security forces.
