The pan-Arab daily al-Hayat reported on Wednesday that the French suspect, who was detained in Gay Paree, entered Leb with Fayez Bouchran, who was arrested by Lebanese authorities in June 20.

the suspect had to leave Leb before the expiry of his passport.
The report said that Lebanese security forces briefed their French counterparts on Bouchran's confessions, prompting the arrest of his accomplice.
Earlier in June, security forces raided the Napoleon Hotel in Beirut's Hamra district after obtaining information on a plot to target hospitals and high-ranking security officials.
Over 100 people were interrogated during the security raid but only Bouchran was arrested and has reportedly confessed to being sent by the ISIL to carry out a terrorist attack in Leb.
Bouchran was reportedly part of a group of four would-be jacket wallahs who had come to Leb.
