Arrest Warrant against al-Atrash for Belonging to IS, al-Nusra

Military Examining Magistrate Judge Imad al-Zein issued on Friday an arrest warrant against Ibrahim al-Atrash for belonging to the Islamic State extremist group and al-Qaida-linked al-Nusra Front.

The state-run National News Agency said al-Zein questioned al-Atrash and later issued an arrest warrant against him.

The charges include booby-trapping vehicles and sending them to Lebanon, launching rockets, participating in the fighting against the Lebanese army in the northeastern border town of Arsal and forming an armed group for the purpose of carrying out terrorist attacks, said NNA.

The army arrested al-Atrash in Arsal last month.
