Sources told LBCI that Lebanese citizen Omar Hamid, known as Omar al-Tawmali, was arrested in the northeastern border town of Arsal in a flash operation for the Lebanese Armed Forces Airborne Regiment.
The detainee is the murderer of army martyr Major Pierre Bachaalani.
Pierre Bachaalani and Sergeant Ibrahim Zahraman were killed in February 2013 while several military personnel were wounded when a patrol was ambushed by gunmen as it was hunting a man wanted for several terrorist acts.
