Tuesday by State Security agents in the northern region of Akkar on suspicion of plotting ?acts of sabotage? inside Leb.

?A patrol from the State Security's Qubayyat bureau managed to arrest Syrian national Hussein Mustafa Arab in the Nabaa area in the border region of Wadi Khaled, following investigations and a surveillance operation,? state-run National News Agency reported.

?He is a soldier who defected from the Syrian army and he is suspected of belonging to the Jund al-Sham group,? NNA said, adding that he is also accused of ?manufacturing and setting up bombs and bombs.?

Several fake Syrian and Lebanese identification documents were found in his possession, the agency said.

The detainee and the seized material will be referred to the relevant judicial authorities for further investigations.

Since the beginning of the Syrian crisis in 2011, Wadi Khaled has witnessed infiltration by rebel fighters into Syria as well as shelling by Syrian forces on the Lebanese region's towns.

The Lebanese army and the other security agencies have this month arrested several runaways accused of belonging to the Qaeda-linked Abdullah Azzam Brigades
