Lebanese Arrested for Belonging to IS, Recruiting Youths to Syria, Iraq

W460

The General Security announced on Tuesday the arrest of a Lebanese suspect for belonging to the Islamic State extremist group.

It said that the suspect confessed to recruiting Lebanese youths to send them to Syria and Iraq to fight alongside the IS.

He himself was planning to travel to Iraq for that same purpose.

The suspect also admitted to preparing 16 belts loaded with very volatile explosives for the group of slain extremist Osama Mansour.

The General Security added that the detainee had taken part in the latest round of fighting against the army in the northern city of Tripoli.

The detainee has since been referred to the concerned authorities for further investigations.

Mansour was shot dead by security forces in Tripoli in April.

He was the leader of a group affiliated with the al-Nusra Front, al-Qaida's Syria franchise.

A number of his affiliates have been arrested in recent months.
