on Sunday are supporters of Islamic holy man Ahmed al-Asir, the As Safir daily quoted well informed sources on condition of anonymity.

Eight people, of Lebanese and Paleostinian nationalities, were found involved in the scheme to detonate a booby-trapped car found in Naameh neighborhood in South of Leb in another location, the source added.

The confessions of the car-bombing ring helped the security agencies seize the Audi vehicle that was rigged with explosives and was set to be detonated in another area.

Saturday afternoon security agencies seized the car filled with 250 kilograms of explosives near the municipality building in Naameh.

The car carried fake license plate numbers and contained five barrels of TNT, kaboom, fuses and detonators along with a device to remotely detonate it.

All the people involved in the scheme are under monitoring, and Sherlocks have circulated their photos in a bid to tighten their movements, the source told the daily.

The seized car included large quantities of explosives which leads to the belief that it was to be used in several kabooms in different regions across Leb, the source said.

The Naameh plot was to be the springboard for the attacks, he added.

Asir's supporters opened fire on an army checkpoint, late last month, leaving around 18 soldiers and more than 20 gunnies dead.

The gunbattles concentrated in the area of Bilal Bin Rabah Mosque and nearby buildings in Abra.
