[An Nahar] Lebanese security forces have locked awayPlease don't kill me! a woman in the northern city of Tripoli ...a confusing city, one end of which is located in Lebanon and the other end of which is the capital of Libya. Its chief distinction is being mentioned in the Marine Hymn... after discovering an boom belt and drugs in her home, a security source told Agence La Belle France-Presse on Friday. The Lebanese woman, who was not named, is in her thirties and married to a Syrian who is currently in prison in Leb for firing at soldiers, the source said. She was not wearing the boom belt at the time of her arrest overnight, the source said, adding that the owner of her apartment had also been detained. Security forces have carried out a number of raids on suspected bully boyz in Tripoli in recent weeks. Last month, they arrested a Lebanese-Australian Mohammedan holy man with links to al-Qaeda. Hussam al-Sabbagh, wanted for "terrorist activity," was stopped at a checkpoint by soldiers acting on "several arrest warrants," the army said. Hours after Sabbagh's arrest, police raided the Tripoli home of a suspect wanted in connection with a Beirut hotel bombing in June. But as they moved in to arrest him, Monzer Khaldoun al-Hassan, a Lebanese-Swedish national, was killed by a grenade he was handling, a security source said. The source said an boom belt was found in Hassan's apartment. |
