Report: Hizbullah Intensified Dahieh Security Measures in Wake of Jabal Mohsen Blast
Hizbullah has increased security measures in its stronghold of Dahieh in Beirut's southern suburbs in the wake of the blast in the Jabal Mohsen neighborhood in the northern city of Tripoli on January 10, reported the Kuwaiti daily al-Seyassah on Sunday.
It said that members of the party have set up checkpoints near those already manned by the army and security forces.
The members are searching vehicles and inspecting the identification papers of passengers given the recent security developments in Lebanon and fears of an attack by the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant and the al-Qaida-affiliated al-Nusra Front, said the daily.
Two suicide bombers killed nine people and wounded 37 others in an attack on a cafe in the flashpoint Alawite neighborhood of Jabal Mohsen on January 10.
