15 Suspected Terrorists Charged with Assassination Plot
2014-06-27
[AnNahar] The military prosecutor charged on Thursday 15 suspected faceless myrmidons for plotting to carry out attacks and target a top security official in northern Leb, the state-run National News Agency reported.

NNA said Judge Saqr Saqr charged the suspects, only six of whom are in detention, for belonging to the Abdullah Azzam Brigades
... Leb's current al-Qaeda affiliate, named after a guy whose car the current head of al-Qaeda had boomed...
and Jund al-Sham in northern Leb.

The six men have been apprehended in the northern region of Qalamoun, it said, although the Lebanese army claimed on Wednesday the arrest of five suspected terrorists.

It identified then as Wassim Ahmed al-Qass, Wissam Ahmed al-Qass, Dani Ahmed al-Qass, Amjad Nouhad al-Khatib and Nabil Kamel Bayda.

The suspects attended training sessions on preparing explosives, using arms and booby-trapping cars, the agency said.

The charges also include complicity with a plot to assassinate a top General Security officer and to carry out terrorist attacks across Leb, NNA added.

Saqr referred the suspects to First Military Examining Magistrate Riyad Abou Ghida.

Al-Joumhouria daily said Thursday that the target of the plot could either be the chief of the army's intelligence in northern Leb Brig. Gen. Amer al-Hassan or Lt. Col. Khattar Nasereddine, who heads the General Security bureau in the North.
