General Security announced on Thursday the arrest of a Syrian who has formed a four-member gang that specializes in illegal weapons trade.

The suspect was arrested for contacting terrorist groups, a communique issued by the agency's general-directorate said.

But the man admitted during questioning that he has formed along with three other Syrians a network active in the trade of weapons.

The gang delivers arms and ammunition to terrorists taking the Lebanese-Syrian border on the outskirts of the northeastern town of Arsal as a refugee.

The suspect was transferred to the judiciary after he was questioned, it said.

Efforts are underway to arrest the remaining members of the network, the communique added.
