Arrest warrants issued against terrorists Bilal and Omar Mikati

2^min

The state-run National news Agency reported on Wednesday that arrest warrants were issued against detainees Bilal and Omar Mikati for belonging to the Islamic State terrorist group.

The agency added that the Military Tribunal Judge Imad al-Zein issued the warrants against the arrestees after interrogating them over their terrorist links.

Bilal also confessed to executing serviceman Ali al-Sayyed, according to the agency.

Earlier in April, the detainees were charged with belonging to IS and planning to carry out terrorist attacks.

They were also charged with clashing with the Lebanese army in the border town of Arsal in August.

The suspects were arrested by the Lebanese army on March 24 in the eastern town of Hrabta.

If convicted, the suspects could face the death penalty.

Sayyed and a number of other servicemen were kidnapped from Arsal following the clashes that took place between the army and jihadist groups.

Three other hostages were also executed, while the rest are still being held in captivity.
