The Military Tribunal on Friday started investigating members of an alleged terrorist network suspected of attacking US fast-food chains and commercial outlets, and attempting to assassinate US Ambassador Vincent Battle. Chief Military Investigating Magistrate Riad Talih questioned Mohammed Fahd Saleh and Abdel-Azizi Hilal Abdel-Aziz, both Palestinians, and Lebanese citizens Hussein Ahmad Qarhani, Bilal Suleiman Halloum, Haitham Ahmad Said and Firas Khalil Abdel-Hadi. Talih issued arrest warrants for them. Talih will question the three remaining suspects, Mohammed Ahmad Haidar, Abdel-Ilah Jassem and Khaled Mohammed al-Ali, in another session. Jassem and Ali are suspected of planning the assassination of Battle.
