Army Refers to Concerned Judiciary 2 Syrians Linked to Terrorist Plots
The Army Intelligence referred on Monday two Syrians to the concerned judiciary for their belonging to terrorist groups.
The army announced that Ahmed Atef Jinyat, a member of the Monzer al-Hasan group, was referred to the concerned judiciary for providing the organization with explosives that were going to be used in terrorist attacks.
Another Syrian, Saleh Mohammed Halloum, a member of another group, cooperated with Jinyat in various attacks in the northern city of Tripoli.
He is charged with tossing hand grenades at an army post in the city.
Al-Hasan had provided the bombers in Beirut's Duroy Hotel with explosives.
A suicide bomber blew up an explosives vest at the hotel in June after his plan, with his Saudi accomplice, was foiled during a General Security raid.
The plotters were seeking to blow themselves up at a restaurant in Dahieh, the southern of Beirut and a Hizbullah stronghold.
Investigations revealed that al-Hasan played a major role in several suicide bombings and bomb attacks.
He acted as an intermediary between extremist groups and terrorists sent by them.
Also Monday, a State Security patrol arrested Syrian Mohammed Adnan al-Zohbi in the Akkar town of Halba on suspicion of belonging to a terrorist organization.
