The detainees and the confiscated items were handed over to the relevant authorities which started interrogating them under the supervision of the judiciary, it added. The arrest comes three days after a boom-mobileing against a Hizbullah position in the Bekaa region of Baalbek. Al-Manar television, which is affiliated with Hizbullah, said that the assailants behind the bombing came from Arsal. Arsal municipality head Ali al-Hujairi told the Central News Agency on Wednesday: "I do not know why they always drag Arsal's name into the various security incidents that have been taking place in Leb." "They should leave the town alone," he demanded. A number of gunnies have repeatedly been arrested near Arsal in the past and the incidents have grown in frequency since the Syrian uprising turned into an armed conflict in 2012. |
