on Sunday in the Mount Leb region of Aley, reported the National News Agency.

It said that the Internal Security Forces Intelligence Bureau arrested the holy man in his residence, located in al-Basateen Street, at dawn on Sunday.

The apartment is owned by a man identified as Hamad Abou Latif.

Bakri is wanted by the army and security forces for his connection to the festivities that have taken place in recent years between the neighborhoods of Jabal Mohsen and Bab al-Tabbaneh in the northern city of Tripoli

The army and security forces had adopted in recent months a security plan in Tripoli in order to crackdown on the various perpetrators linked to the unrest.

It resulted in the arrested of several suspects, including some of Bakri's associates.
