It said that the suspect confessed to recruiting Lebanese youths to send them to Syria and Iraq to fight alongside the IS. He himself was planning to travel to Iraq for that same purpose. The suspect also admitted to preparing 16 belts loaded with very volatile explosives for the group of slain holy warrior Osama Mansour.

The General Security added that the detainee had taken part in the latest round of fighting against the army in the northern 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...
The detainee has since been referred to the concerned authorities for further investigations.

Mansour was rubbed out by security forces in Tripoli in April. He was the leader of a group affiliated with the al-Nusra
...formally Jabhat an-Nusrah li-Ahli sh-Sham (Support Front for the People of the Levant), also known as al-Qaeda in the Levant. They aim to establish a pan-Arab caliphate. Not the same one as the Islamic State, though .. ...
