Army Detains Suspect on Terror Charges in Tripoli
The army detained on Monday a Lebanese man on charges of having terror links, the state-run National News Agency reported.
According to NNA, an army patrol raided at dawn the house of Abdullah al-Jaghbari in the area of Bab al-Ramel in the northern city of Tripoli.
The news agency said that troops confiscated a quantity of arms from the suspect's house.
The army and other security agencies have been clamping down on outlaws across Lebanon, implementing a security plan to maintain security calmness.
The plan was mainly activated in Tripoli, the northern areas of the Bekaa and in Beirut.
The unprecedented operation of the armed forces aims at quelling violence and reducing the repercussions of the war in Syria on Lebanon.
Several detained suspects are allegedly affiliated to Islamist groups, whose fighters remain entrenched on the outskirts of the northeastern border town of Arsal after they overran the village and engaged in battles with the army.
