Six army soldiers were lightly wounded Friday in northern Bekaa when a dangerous fugitive blew himself up during a confrontation with a military force, media reports said.

“As a patrol from the military intelligence's Strike Force was raiding a house in the town of al-Nabi Othman, where two armed militants were holed up – one from the al-Breidi family and the other from the al-Hujeiri family who both hail from the town of Arsal – a clash erupted with the raiding force and the militants tried to flee in a pickup truck,” the National News Agency said.

“After the noose was tightened on them, Breidi blew himself up, wounding several soldiers,” the agency added.

Other media reports said Breidi detonated the explosives inside a military vehicle after he was arrested.

LBCI television said the six injured troops were transported by helicopter to Beirut.

Breidi is involved along with the detainee Hussein al-Hassan, who was arrested Thursday, in a plot to attack churches in the northern Bekaa town of Ras Baalbek, reports said.

Two devices had exploded Wednesday evening inside a garbage container near a church in Ras Baalbek, causing no casualties, reports said.

Yeah just yesterday, how convenient.

Speaking of which, here he is almost orgasmic as he describes the ecstasy and joy that suicide murderers feel after committing their heinous terrorist act

Iran sponsored Al Qaeda and still does. Al Qaeda leaders are based in Iran along with their families. Iran receives Taliban leaders on a regular basis. Bin Ladin in his letters ordered his followers not to attack Iran because it represented and still represents a safe passage/refuge for Al Qaeda's personnel and finances.

9/11 attackers received military training at the hands of iran and hezbollah.

Iran is the source of all terrorism past, present and future.
