Report: Security Intensified in North over Fears of Terrorist Attack against Military
2014-12-29
[AnNahar] Security measures have been intensified in the North amid reports that terrorist groups are seeking to attack a military post in the area, said As Safir newspaper on Saturday.

A security source told the daily that snuffies are planning on attacking the post that is located near a major tourist resort south of the city of Tripoli
...a confusing city, one end of which is located in Lebanon and the other end of which is the capital of Libya. Its chief distinction is being mentioned in the Marine Hymn...
.

Furthermore, it cited the recent infiltration attempts by gunnies into the northeastern border region of Arsal as a sign that these forces are seeking to break the army's siege of the area.

They are trying to sway the balance of power in their favor following the army's increased presence in the area given the festivities it waged with gunnies in Arsal in August, explained the source.

Meanwhile,
...back at the wrecked scow, Agent 49 felt gingerly for his head. It was still there. He had been hoping differently...
another security source told As Safir that the recently detained Mahmoud Abou Abbas can be described as ?another Naim Abbas.?

Arrested by Army Intelligence in the town of Majdal Anjar, the source said that he is the criminal mastermind and executor of a number of bombings in Leb.

He helped in transporting bombs, terrorists, and booby-trapped vehicles in the country.

He is also linked to various terror groups and reportedly assisted the jacket wallahs behind the Dahr al-Baydar and Tayyouneh blasts that took place in June.

Naim Abbas is a detained top official in the al-Qaeda-linked Abdullah Azzam Brigades
... Leb's current al-Qaeda affiliate, named after a guy whose car the current head of al-Qaeda had boomed...
.

He is charged with belonging to an armed terrorist group for the purpose of carrying out terrorist attacks and preparing and transporting booby-trapped vehicles from Syria to Leb to detonate them in residential areas.

Three gunnies were killed overnight on Thursday when the army thwarted an attempt by bandidos holy warriors to infiltrate an area on the outskirts of Arsal.

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.
