2014-10-21
[AnNahar] Extremist groups are set to launch a wide attack on north Leb, according to French intelligence reports that were conveyed to Lebanese authorities.

As Safir newspaper reported on Monday that the concerned authorities received a French tip off that Death Eaters will launch their attack from the northern district of Akkar.

Informed sources told the daily that the Lebanese army is dealing seriously with all warnings, whether they were true or not.

The sources noted that the army took all the necessary measures to confront any development on the field in the North and to avoid any surprises.

For the past few months, the military has been coming under increasing armed attacks mainly in northern Leb.

Since August, the Lebanese army has been fighting bandidos gunnies from the Islamic State

Earlier that month, the Death Eaters crossed into the northeastern town of Arsal from Syria, capturing soldiers and coppers. Two of the soldiers have since been beheaded and one has been killed in captivity.
