Woman Held for Trying to Recruit Females for al-Nusra

[An Nahar] A Syrian woman has been tossed in the clink
Into the paddy wagon wit' yez!
in the Bekaa for trying to recruit women for the turban al-Nusra Front while a runaway was maimed in a clash with the army in al-Masnaa, state-run National News Agency reported.

"The army arrested in the town of al-Nabi Sheet a Syrian woman identified as Umm Jamal on suspicion of her collaboration with al-Nusra Front," NNA said.

The woman used to work in the town in the past and she raised suspicions after her return to the same job, the agency noted.

"During interrogation, the woman confessed that she was seeking to recruit women to assist the Front in its acts of sabotage," NNA added.

Al-Jadeed television said the woman was arrested three days ago.

In a separate incident, "the runaway Abdul Hayy Saleh Ammoun was maimed in an exchange of gunfire with an army patrol following a chase on the al-Masnaa road" in the Bekaa, NNA said.

The agency said the incident took place near al-Akramiyeh's intersection and that the maimed suspect was rushed to the Hrawi state-run hospital in al-Maalqa. But al-Jadeed said the man was killed when a hand grenade that was in his possession went kaboom! during the chase.

On February 12, the army intercepted a booby-trapped vehicle on the Arsal-al-Labweh road in the Bekaa region.

The Army Command announced in a statement that the vehicle had arrived in Leb from Syria's Yabrud region. Containing three women, the car was going to be transported to Beirut where it was to be handed over to would-be suicide-bombers.

Quoting military sources, LBCI television said the women confessed to plotting "a triple bombing during which the car and two jacket wallahs were supposed to blow up."

However,
a woman is only as old as she admits...
two of the three women were freed on Saturday afternoon.

"State Commissioner to the Military Court Judge Saqr Saqr ordered the release of Hala Rayed and Khadijeh Audeh for not having any links with the incident," NNA said.

The third suspect, Joumana Hmayyed, was kept in jug, according to the state-run news agency
...and if you can't believe the state-run news agency who can you believe?...

Extremist organizations, including a group calling itself al-Nusra Front in Leb, have grabbed credit for a series of suicide kabooms in recent months against areas considered strongholds of Hizbullah
...Party of God, a Leb militia inspired, founded, funded and directed by Iran. Hizbullah refers to itself as The Resistance and purports to defend Leb against Israel, with whom it has started and lost one disastrous war to date, though it did claim victory...

Dozens of non-combatants were killed and scores were maimed in the bombings.
