"Three separate targets were to be hit at the same time," the ministry said, in an operation Mawlawi said would have caused a large loss of life.
Lebanon's Internal Security Forces (ISF) said the instructions for the bomb plot came from an IS operative based in the Paleostinian refugee camp of Ain al-Hilweh, who is in touch with fellow Sunni snuffies in Syria.
The instructions were passed to an undercover ISF agent who had successfully managed to infiltrate IS networks in Lebanon.
Indeed? Betcha his name was Mohammed or one of its variants.
On February 7, the ISF agent was instructed to prepare attacks on a Shiite religious compound in the al-Laylaki neighborhood, the Imam al-Kazem compound in Haret Hreik and the al-Nasser mosque in Beirut's Ouzai suburb, the ISF said. He was given three explosive vests and other weapons to conduct the attacks on February 16, the ISF added.

But homage was prevented, by definition with Allah’s approval. Something to ponder while flying high on Captagon
