Lebanese police on Saturday chased and detained two Syrian policemen said to be close to the son of a former Syrian security chief in Lebanon, according to reports Sunday. The Mansourieh police mounted the chase as a dark blue Mitsubishi four-wheel-drive vehicle with smoked windows sped across the roundabout of Mkalles before dawn, stopping it at Beirut's Cola residential district. Tinted car glass has been prohibited by the Lebanese authorities since the Syrian military and intelligence evacuation of Lebanon got underway three weeks ago. Such cars were mainly used by Syrian intelligence officers in Beirut and the rest of Lebanon.The two occupants of the four-wheel-drive were identified as Yasser Ibrahim Mansour, a Syrian policeman from the northern Syrian town of Tartous and policeman Mohammed Izzidine from Aleppo. The four-wheel-drive belonged to the Lebanese Army, according to a security source. The two detainees were handed to Ramlet al-Baida Lebanese police station and were then transferred to the Jdeideh police station, An-Nahar said, without mentioning the names of the former Syrian security chief or that of his son to whom the detained Syrians are said to be close.
