W460

A patrol from the Internal Security Forces Intelligence Branch raided Wednesday a building in Tripoli's Abi Samra area in which it seized arms, shells and rockets, media reports said.

LBCI television said the police agents stormed the apartment of a man called Jalal al-Jamal in Abi Samra in connection with the arrest of his brother-in-law Mahmoud al-Brihi two days ago in the northern area of Sir al-Dinniyeh.

“In the wake of the raid, the patrol called in reinforcements and managed to arrest al-Jamal and his wife Safa al-Brihi, as arms, shells and rockets were found in the house,” LBCI said.

The detainees are loyal to the jihadist Islamic State group, the TV network added.

State-run National News Agency meanwhile said Intelligence Branch agents searched the entire building after imposing a security cordon around it.
