| [An Nahar] The Lebanese army seized on Thursday goods hidden in five small trucks for the purpose of smuggling them to Syria through the town of Deir al-Ashaer, the National News Agency reported. NNA said a Lebanese army patrol made the discovery on the Kfarqouq-Yanta road in Rashaya. The military is inspecting the goods, it said. Last week, a judicial source told As Safir daily that a Lebanese and two Syrians have admitted to trying to smuggle arms to Syria to support anti-regime protestors in the neighboring country. The newspaper said the army intelligence thwarted the plot after it raided a neighborhood of the Beirut district of Tariq al-Jdideh and tossed in the calaboose Lebanese Ibrahim M. and Syrians Assef F. and Bassel Q. The army seized in the raid Rocket Propelled Grenades, hand grenades, Kalashnikov rifles, night-vision goggles and Inerga-type RPGs, As Safir added. |
