Military investigating Judge issues arrest warrants against 7 detainees

2^min

Military investigating Judge Imad al-Zein interrogated on Tuesday seven detainees linked to the case of Imad Jomaa who was arrested in Arsal, and issued arrest warrants against them.

Jomaa's arrest at a Lebanese army checkpoint led to clashes on August 2 between the army and Islamist militants in the northeastern border town of Arsal.

The clashes left 20 soldiers dead and 86 injured, while at least 30 ISF and LAF soldiers remain missing, presumably kidnapped by the Islamic State and al-Nusra Front militants.

On Thursday (August 07), a military source stated that a truce in Arsal appeared to be holding and the situation in the border town was quiet.

The Muslim Scholars Committee had launched an initiative to ensure the return of the kidnapped soldiers and served as a mediator between the gunmen and the Lebanese authorities.

Later on, the Association declared that it will suspend all activities to make way for other sides to deploy efforts in this regard.

The gunmen had issued a list of demands, which include the release of several Islamist inmates from the infamous Roumieh prison. A demand the interior minister had rejected.

Lebanese security officials say the fighters include members of al Qaeda's Syria branch, the Nusra Front, and an al Qaeda splinter group, the Islamic State, which has seized swathes of land in Syria and Iraq.
