Friday during raids by the army and the Internal Security Forces in the North district and the Bekaa region.

"The ISF Intelligence Bureau arrested Sheikh Osama Antar, aka Abu Ibrahim, during a raid in the al-Hawooz Street in Abi Samra" 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...
, state-run National News Agency reported.

It said two computers belonging to him were seized during the operation.

Meanwhile,
...back at the chili cook-off, Chuck and Manuel's rivalry was entering a new and more dangerous phase...
Voice of Leb radio (100.5) pointed out that Antar is the imam of al-Taqwa Mosque, in which prominent Salafist holy man Sheikh Salem al-Rafehi "used to deliver sermons."

Also in Tripoli, the army raided the house of runaway Islamist krazed killer Shadi al-Mawlawi in the al-Qobbeh neighborhood without finding him there, LBCI television said.

Elsewhere, army forces cracked down on the residence places of several desperados in the Akkar town of Bhannine.

Troops arrested Ali Hussein Akkoush on charges of "involvement along with others in opening fire at army troops," an army statement said, referring to recent deadly festivities between the army and Islamist gunnies in Bhannine.

The army statement also said 11 Syrians were arrested in the Bekaa area of Anjar for "moving inside Leb without carrying legal identification papers."

The army has been carrying out a major crackdown in Tripoli and the North in recent weeks, following unprecedented festivities with Islamist murderous Moslems in Tripoli's old souks and Bab al-Tabbaneh and the nearby town of Bhannine in the Minieh region.

Eleven troops, five civilians and an unknown number of gunnies were killed in the fierce gunbattles.
