Army Arrests Abdullah Azzam Brigades Member Wanted on Multiple Charges
The army's Intelligence Directorate has managed to arrest Faisal Hussein Mamlouk, a member of the jihadist group Abdullah Azzam Brigades, the army said on Thursday.
The militant had taken part in the 2014 deadly assault on the eastern border town of Arsal, said an Army Command statement.
He is accused of “carrying out acts of terror, encircling army posts, and storming the Internal Security Forces building in Arsal and clashing with its members, which resulted in the death of several servicemen and the wounding of others,” the army statement said.
Mamlouk is also accused of “smuggling arms and ammunition to the terrorist groups” in Arsal's outskirts, the army statement added.
