Army Arrests Member of Osama Mansour's Terror Group
The Lebanese army arrested overnight a member of Osama Mansour's terrorist group in Tripoli's Bab al-Tabbaneh, the National News Agency said on Tuesday.
Khaled Makkieh was arrested in the vegetable market of Bab al-Tabbaneh for participating in attacks against army positions in the northern city of Tripoli, NNA added.
Islamist militant Osama Mansour was killed in April by the police during an operation to arrest a radical cleric in Tripoli.
The militants have led armed groups that engaged in deadly gunbattles with the army in Tripoli and its surrounding areas.
