BEIRUT: A former Lebanese minister has confessed to plotting sectarian killings along with Syria's security chief, according to alleged leaked security documents published by a local newspaper on Monday. Former Information Minister Michel Samaha, who has close links to the Damascus regime, was charged earlier this month by Lebanon's chief military prosecutor with planning attacks in Lebanon and of transporting explosives. Al-Joumhouria newspaper published Monday a picture of Samaha allegedly giving a bag stuffed with cash to an undercover agent at his Beirut home, along with 10 pages of documents alleged to be records of the investigation.
