Miqati Confirms Discovery of Cell Planning Attacks on Army
[An Nahar] Prime Minister Najib Miqati confirmed on Monday that the Lebanese army had busted a cell within its ranks planning attacks on military barracks.

In remarks to news hounds at the Grand Serail, Miqati said: "The Lebanese army uncovered a terrorist cell that was planning an attack on its barracks and is carrying out the necessary investigation."

He said the cell is active in northern Leb with branches in the Paleostinian camps and mainly in Ain al-Hilweh. "But it has nothing to do with the situation in Syria."

His confirmation came after al-Akhbar daily reported that the army nabbed two Salafist soldiers linked to the Abdullah Azzam Brigades allied with the al-Qaeda terrorist network.

The men are reportedly part of a larger network consisting of four Lebanese and one Paleostinian identified as Abu Mohammed Toufiq Taha who is the Brigades' ringleader in Ein el-Hellhole and wanted on several charges.

While Taha is on the run, the other six were nabbed by the army intelligence, al-Akhbar said.
