Gunmen Cross Arsal Checkpoint, Flee as Troops Open Fire
2014-06-16
[AnNahar] Gunmen coming from Syria on Sunday crossed a Lebanese Army checkpoint in the Bekaa border town of Arsal before fleeing the area as troops opened fire, state-run National News Agency reported.

"Three gunnies coming from Syrian territory in a GMC SUV crossed an army checkpoint in Arsal's Wadi Ata, which prompted troops to fire towards them," NNA said.

"Consequently, they left the car and fled on foot to an unknown destination," the agency added.

The army carried out on Friday a wide-scale raid in the outskirts of Arsal in search of gunnies and wanted suspects linked to terrorist activities.

It also detained Nour Muheiddine Shameseddine, Haitham Nader Ghannoum, Adel Suleiman Ghannoum and Mohammed Nazih Ghannoum for the possession of cameras, computers and CDs that show their participation in training with terrorist groups.

Ever since the Syrian revolt erupted in March 2011, Arsal has served as a key conduit for refugees, rebels and maimed people fleeing strife-torn Syria.
