Arrest Warrant Issued for Detained Suspected al-Nusra Member
Military Investigative Judge Fadi Sawwan on Thursday interrogated the detainee Jihad H., who is accused of belonging to the jihadist group al-Nusra Front.
The man was charged with “belonging to an armed terrorist group (al-Nusra Front) with the aim of carrying out terrorist acts and providing cars that were supposed to be booby-trapped in Syria, as well as forging official documents and IDs,” state-run National News Agency reported.
Al-Nusra Front in Lebanon -- believed to be the local branch of Syria's al-Nusra Front, a jihadist rebel movement – had recently warned that attacks on Hizbullah-controlled areas will continue until Lebanon releases Sunni Islamist prisoners and the party withdraws from Syria.
In January, State Commissioner to the Military Court Judge Saqr Saqr charged detained cleric Sheikh Omar al-Atrash and 12 Lebanese and Syrian suspects with belonging to al-Qaida and the Abdullah Azzam Brigades and with committing terrorist acts.
