President Sleiman hails efforts of army, security apparatuses in addressing terrorism

2^min

President Michel Sleiman praised on Monday the efforts deployed by the Lebanese army and security apparatuses in addressing the criminal plans of extremists against Lebanon.

He also urged “the military and security forces to remain on high alert to thwart attempts to create strife in the country.”

Sleiman's comments were made after holding a meeting with General Security chief Abbas Ibrahim at the Baabda Palace.

At least three people were killed when a suicide car bomber struck a Hezbollah stronghold in Lebanon's Bekaa Valley on Sunday in an apparent response to the fall of a rebel-held town to government forces across the border in Syria.

A security source said two of the dead from the blast in Nabi Osmane were members of the Lebanese Shi'ite Muslim armed group Hezbollah whose fighters backed the Syrian army earlier in the day in their takeover of Yabroud.

Hezbollah has been the target of repeated car bombings and rocket fire inside Lebanon during the past year over its involvement in Syria's civil war.

It is backing President Bashar al-Assad, whose minority Alawite sect is an offshoot of Shi'ite Islam, against a Sunni Muslim-led insurgency.
