REPORT: ISF posts Lebanese flag on Ahrar al-Sunna Brigade twitter account
The Internal Security Forces Information bureau posted the Lebanese flag on the twitter account of the Baalbek-based Ahrar al-Sunna Brigade, and shared a tweet, whereby it said that the account’s operator was arrested.

This comes as Hezbollah sources told LBCI that the party has nothing to do with the operator of the Baalbek-based Ahrar al-Sunna Brigade twitter account Hussein al-Hussein, who was arrested on Thursday by the Internal Security Forces, while security sources stressed that al-Hussein confessing to being affiliated with Hezbollah.

In information made available to LBCI, al-Hussein, a 19-year-old resident of al-Charawneh neighborhood in Baalbek, was using a blackberry device to operate the twitter account.

In this regard, the preliminary investigations revealed that al-Hussein was working on his own and without any partners.

Baalbek-based Ahrar al-Sunna Brigade had previously claimed via the twitter account that it is an affiliate of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant, however the ISIL later denied such allegations.

The Brigade has claimed responsibility for several rocket and bomb attacks in Lebanon, the last of which were the suicide attacks in Dahr al-Baydar and Raouche's Duroy Hotel.

The group has threatened to attack Interior Minister Nohad Machnouq, Lebanese Armed Forces Commander General Jean Kahwaji and Major Suzanne al-Hajj, chief of the Internal Security Forces' Cyber Crime and Intellectual Property Protection bureau. 

It has frequently slammed the military institution as the “Crusader Army” and it vowed to task armed men to attack churches in Lebanon, mainly in the eastern Bekaa valley.
