| [AnNahar] Three gunnies were killed overnight when the Lebanese army thwarted an attempt by murderous Moslems to infiltrate an area on the outskirts of the northeastern border town of Arsal. The state-run National News Agency said Friday that one of the dead jihadists is a Syrian member of the al-Qaeda-linked al-Nusra ...the current nom de guerre of al-Qaeda in the Levant, which isn't to be confused with al-Qaeda in Iraq and the Levant... Front. NNA identified him as Adham Shaddad. The fighters died when the army repelled their infiltration attempt in the area of Wadi al-Hosn, the agency added. The nearby border is long and porous, and has proved an easy crossing point for smugglers, refugees and fighters. Tens of thousands of Syrian refugees are being hosted in the town, and opposition fighters have bases in the mountainous border area outside Arsal. |
