...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems....
bully boy group, it said.

Another suspected terrorist, a Syrian, was arrested by the Lebanese army in the eastern Bekaa Valley.

The military said in a communique that it apprehended Walid Mohammed Kheir Ali Hussein in the town of Bar Elias on suspicion of having ties with terrorist groups.

His arrest came as part of a security crackdown by the authorities in the Bekaa.

Other arrested suspects included a Syrian, who had fake identification papers and was driving a car with no proper registration papers, and a Lebanese man who was smuggling food to the outskirts of the northeastern border town of Arsal.

In the areas of Baalbek, Talya and Douris, the military said it detained a wanted Lebanese man and four others for driving unregistered cars.
