Lebanese General Security arrests a would-be-suicide bomber

The General Security declared on Friday that it has thwarted an attempt to carry out a suicide bombing in the country.

“As part of the monitoring of the terrorist groups' activities and the pursuit of their sleeper cells, the General Security arrested Lebanese national identified as Y. D. over information that he belongs to a terrorist group and was plotting to carry out an act of sabotage,” it said in a statement.

“During interrogation, he confessed to belonging to the terrorist al-Nusra Front group and to plotting a bombing with a suicide vest,” it added.

He was transferred to the concerned judicial authorities after the end of interrogation.

The crackdown comes in the wake of deadly twin suicide blasts that rocked the Beirut southern suburb of Bourj al-Barajneh, killing 43 people and injuring around 240 others.

The attack was claimed by Islamic State group.
