Sixth Terror Suspect Arrested
2005-11-15
Beirut, 15 Nov. (AKI) - A Lebanese man, Hasan Mazlum, on Tuesday became the sixth person arrested in Lebanon over the last five days on supsicion of being involved in a wave of terrorist attacks that has recently bloodied the country. Authorities allege that Mazlum, together with five other suspects who were picked up last Thursday, is part of a "Syrian-Lebanese terror network", whose operations were coordinated by Colonel Jamaa Jamaa, a Syrian official who headed Damascus intelligence operations in Beirut until Syria's military withdrawal from Lebanon in April. Jamaa is considered Syria's second highest intelligence official in Lebanon after Rustum Ghazale who has been implicated by a UN investigator in the assassination of former Lebanese premier Rafik Hariri.

According to Lebanese judicial sources, Mazlum's name emerged during police interrogations of his five alleged accomplices - three Lebanese nationals Shaker Berjawi, Malek Muhammad, Khaled Dreik, and two Palestinians, Abu Hasan Ghazi a member of the pro-Syrian Sa'iqa' militia and Saad Lubani a Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine - General Command militant.
