| 2013-08-12 |
| [An Nahar] The army succeeded on Friday night in thwarting a suicide kaboom against a checkpoint in the Bekaa region of Arsal, reported An Nahar daily on Sunday. It revealed that soldiers had halted the attack shortly after it stopped a Syrian, a Paleostinian, and Danish citizen of Paleostinian origins at the Hmeid checkpoint on the outskirts of Arsal. They were traveling from Syria in a Mitsubishi vehicle without license plates or identification cards. Upon halting the vehicle, one of the Paleostinians, wearing an boom belt, stepped out of the car and attempted to blow himself up. The soldiers however shot and killed him before he would carry out his attack. His two companions have since been enjugged ... anything you say can and will be used against you, whether you say it or not... A Kalashnikov rifle and another boom belt attacked to a hand grenade was found in their possession. The Army Command had initially revealed the attack in a statement on Friday night, saying that it had arrested three gunnies as they attempted to infiltrate Leb from Syria earlier that day. On July 14, the army arrested a number of individuals for transporting weapons in Arsal. The Beirut-based, pan-Arab television al-Mayadeen said those arrested were two Syrians, a Lebanese and two Paleostinians who were carrying "boom jackets." |
