إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
The Lebanese security agencies are increasing their coordination with foreign ones in their fight against terrorism, reported al-Joumhouria newspaper on Friday.
A security source told the daily: “The coordination between the two sides has increased because the fight against terrorism has exceeded geographical borders.”
“Dormant cells have been awakened due to political developments,” it added.
“The terrorist organizations believe that targeting the West with assaults, pressure, and confusion may halt the western campaign against them,” they stated.
“Lebanon in turn will be a target because it is part of the war on terror,” warned the source.
Furthermore, it noted that the security agencies' discovery of a number of terror cells can be credited to the exchange of intelligence between them and foreign agencies.
The Lebanese authorities have in recent days uncovered a number of terror cells, arresting a number of suspects and confiscating weapons, explosives, and detonators.
Last week, twin suicide bombings targeted the Bourj al-Barajneh district in southern Beirut.
The Islamic State group claimed responsibility for the attack that left over 43 people dead.

-- will be a target?? Lol this is the 10th bombing in 2.5 years.
Because we're part of the war on terror?? I thought the Baabda Declaration called for keeping Lebanon out of regional conflicts, now we're in the war on terror lol
