Report: Dahr al-Baydar Explosives-Rigged Vehicle Prepared in Arsal
[AnNahar] The gray Nissan Murano used in the bombing that targeted last week an Internal Security Forces checkpoint in the eastern town of Dahr al-Baydar was reportedly rigged with explosives in the eastern border town of Arsal, As Safir newspaper reported on Wednesday.

The daily said that the army intelligence is investigating if any illegal border crossings between the Syrian town of al-Qalamoun and Arsal are still accessible or if the car was prepared with explosives in Arsal.

It reported that the analysis of the telecom data indicates that the jacket wallah driving the Murano planned to target a high-ranking official in the attack.

General Security chief Maj. Gen. Abbas Ibrahim had driven past the site of the kaboom in his convoy shortly before the blast.

According to the report, another booby-trapped vehicle was spotted in the area of Sawfar before it disappeared.

The suicide kaboom killed one person and maimed 30 others.
