Army Carries Out Raids in Several Areas, Arrests Suspects
 [AnNahar] The Lebanese army detained several suspects for carrying out terror-linked acts, including a Syrian national, who was infiltrating into the northeastern border town of Arsal.The army said in a communique issued on Saturday that Syrian national Mohammed Mustapha Mustapha was detained while trying to infiltrate illegally into Lebanese territories by evading checkpoints. He is suspected of having links to a terrorist organization and carrying suspicious documents. According to the statement, Mustapha was riding a cycle of violence without having a licensee. The communique also pointed out that an army unit raided several suspicious locations in the northern Metn areas of Fanar and al-Sabtiyeh, arresting two Syrians, a Paleostinian and three Lebanese nationals. The unit seized in the possession of the apprehended men light weapons, drugs, cameras and communication equipment. The statement said that all suspects, along with the seized items, were referred to the competent judiciary. The army and security forces had been carrying out in recent months raids in various regions throughout Leb in search for wanted runaways and suspected terrorists. The army has been cracking down on Syrian refugees across the country after the military engaged in battles with snuffies from al-Qaeda-linked al-Nusra ...the current nom de guerre of al-Qaeda in the Levant, which isn't to be confused with al-Qaeda in Iraq and the Levant... Front and the Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allaharound with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not reallyMoslems.... group in Arsal in August. There are fears that the Syrian refugee encampments in Leb could turn into areas that harbor bad boys, or a springboard to head to Syrian or Lebanese territories for violent acts.
