an "important" suspect in north Leb allegedly linked to detained krazed killer Sheikh Khaled Hoblos and runaway Shadi al-Mawlawi, according to the state-run National News Agency.

Ahmad al-Kasha, apparently disguised in women's clothing at the time of his arrest Wednesday morning, was apprehended at a checkpoint in Madfoun, in north Leb's Batroun district, the NNA report said.

Security sources said that Kasha, a nationalized Lebanese citizen from Syria, is also known as "Abu Omar Kasha" and hails from the northern Lebanese city of Tripoli
...a confusing city, one end of which is located in Lebanon and the other end of which is the capital of Libya. Its chief distinction is being mentioned in the Marine Hymn...
. Speaking to The Daily Star, a senior Army official confirmed the arrest, but refused to give further details.

Kasha allegedly took part in festivities against the Army in the city on several occasions and had close ties to both Hoblos and Mawlawi. Hoblos was arrested in April during a police operation in Tripoli. Notorious myrmidon Osama Mansour, who was wanted on terrorism charges, was killed in the same operation. Investigations into Hoblos uncovered myrmidon cells in north Leb that were set to be armed by the preacher before his arrest.
