The Army on Saturday seized a truck carrying weapons in Baalbeck's al-Labwa region, the state-run National News Agency reported.

“Two men, a Lebanese and another without any documents of identification, were arrested in al-Labwe for possessing weapons in their truck,” a statement by the Army Command said.

It detailed: “The men had in possession medium and light weapons, ammunition, a remote explosive device and other explosive machines, and electric wires, amongst other things”.

“They were all hidden in metal sheets that were especially made for this purpose,” the military communique pointed out.

The army has launched an investigation with the arrested men and will hand them over along with the seized weapons to the competent court.
