| [Ynet] Lebanese security forces said on Thursday they had nabbed a senior member of an al Qaeda-linked murderous Moslem group that has carried out attacks in the country. A security source described Bilal Mezher as an "important catch", close to Sirajeddine Zureiqat, head of the Abdullah Azzam Brigades ... Leb's current al-Qaeda affiliate, named after a guy whose car the current head of al-Qaeda had boomed... . Mezher, who is Lebanese, was arrested in a special operation in Naameh area south of Beirut. "This special operation is part of a wider campaign to arrest gunnies and all those linked to terrorist groups," the source told Rooters. The Abdullah Azzam group, named after a Paleostinian regarded as the one-time spiritual mentor of al Qaeda chief the late Osama bin Laden ... who is now neither a strong horse nor a weak horse, but a dead horse... , has claimed attacks across the region including a double suicide assault on Iran's Beirut embassy in 2014. The Azzam Brigades are designated by the US State Department as a foreign terrorist organization. |
