Lebanese police and army intelligence servicemen have arrested five people across the country on charges of espionage. According to the Beirut-based As Safir newspaper, the suspects were arrested in different parts of northern Lebanon over the past few days. The photo accompanying the article shows a masked intel agent (I suppose) holding a Linksys wireless router, the power cord still plugged in. This is really nefarious stuff.
Among those arrested was the wife of a Lebanese detainee identified as by her initials, M.Gh. She was detained by intelligence agents in a late Tuesday raid on her house at the village of Barja in Shouf district, which lies 25 km (15 miles) south of the capital, Beirut. If convicted, those arrested could receive the death penalty.
In many cases, Hezbollah has discovered and captured suspected spies, and handed them over to the authorities in Lebanon.
