|
[AnNahar] The detainee Mohammed Ibrahim al-Hujeiri, aka Kahroub, was involved in the kabooms that killed a number of Syrian Muslim holy mans and maimed Lebanese troops in the northeastern border town of Arsal, the army said Tuesday.
"Along with a man called Abou Ali al-Yabroudi, the detainee Hujeiri collected information about the time and place of the meeting that the Qalamoun Scholars Committee held in Arsal," the Army Command said in a statement.
"They then tasked the Syrian Abou Firas with booby-trapping a cycle of violence and parking it outside the meeting's venue and blowing it up on November 5," it added.
At least six holy mans were killed and several others maimed in the kaboom.
Hujeiri was also involved in a bombing that targeted an army vehicle in Arsal the next day.
"In collaboration with al-Yabroudi, Abou Firas and Abou Ali al-Asiri, he targeted a military personnel carrier with a roadside kaboom," the army said.
Five soldiers were maimed in the bombing.
The man has also confessed to booby-trapping "ten cycle of violences with the aim of carrying out liquidations inside Arsal," the army added.
Hujeiri also has a long record of activities with several myrmidon groups.
During his cooperation with al-Yabroudi, their group booby-trapped five cars with the aim of "targeting army posts, facilitating the entry of myrmidons, and enabling them to reach 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...
to seize control of an outlet to the sea."
Hujeiri, who had ties to the Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems....
's Qalamoun branch, had also been a member of the Seif al-Haq group led by the Syrian Amin Mohammed Ghourli, which comprises Lebanese and Syrian nationals, the army said.
The group was behind firing rockets at Hermel, monitoring a judge's house with the aim of abducting him, and distributing ammo to bully boyz during the deadly Arsal battles with the army.
Hujeiri had also created an IS cell in the town in order to monitor individuals who cooperate with Lebanese security agencies, the army added.
