Lebanese runaway Ahmed Adnan al-Hamad in the Akkar town of Mashta Hasan for having links to terrorist groups, the Army Orientation Directorate said in a statement on Saturday.

Al-Hamad had links with terrorist Mohammed Ahmed al-Satem and had schemed to carry out attacks in the area of Wadi Khaled, the statement added.

The detainee had admitted that the so-called al-Satem had briefed him on the plans of the Islamic State
...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....
to recruit fighters and establish terrorist cells and gangs in Wadi Khaled in a bid to target army positions in conjunctions with military operations inside the Syrian territory.

Al-Hamad said that he had joined a group of five members and were all tasked with recruiting other units and with collecting information about collaborators with the security services to be eliminated afterward.

On Monday, the Security forces arrested two Islamic State jihadists who had plotted to carry out attacks inside Leb.

Dozens of suspects were arrested across the country in recent weeks.

The crackdown followed an IS suicide kaboom in the southern Beirut suburb of Bourj al-Barajneh that killed 44 people and maimed around 240 others.
