Military Investigative Judge Nabil Wehbe interrogated Nawaf Hussein, who is accused of being involved in terrorist acts and transporting booby-trapped vehicles to Lebanon.
In this regard, Hussein’s attorney Tarek Chandab stressed, in a statement to LBCI that his client denied before the judge what he has been accused of during the preliminary investigations, as well as all the confessions presented by Omar al-Atrash.
Chandab noted that his client confirmed being subject to physical torture and psychological pressure during the interrogations.
Hussein’s denial comes a day after al-Atrash also denied before Judge Wehbe that he had transported booby-trapped cars and explosive belts into Lebanon.
Similarly, al-Atrash said that his confessions that included Nawaf Hussein came under pressure.
On another note, the attorney of al-Qaeda-linked militant Naim Abbas presented on Tuesday a formal written plea in the case of Jamal Daftardar to the Military investigative Judge Imad Zein.
