Written by Najib

 

The army on Tuesday arrested a Lebanese man in the northern city of Tripoli on suspicion that he was plotting to carry out a suicide bombing, while two other people were captured in Bekaa's Arsal after trying to cross into its outskirts.

The army said in an official statement that its forces arrested “in Tripoli's al-Mankoubeen area the citizen Bassam Hussam Naboush on suspicion that he is a would-be suicide bomber.”

The arrest operation comes two days after the double suicide blasts at a cafe in Tripoli's Jabal Mohsen which killed 9 people and wounded more than 37. The suicide attack was carried out by two residents of the al-Mankoubeen area.
