Lebanon Arrests Group Planning Attacks on UN Peacekeepers
[AFP] "The Lebanese army's secret service arrested a network of non-Lebanese terrorists who were watching the movements of UN Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) troops in south Lebanon and who were planning to carry out attacks against them," the Lebanese army said Monday. "The network planted an explosive device along the main road between Al-Abbasseya and Jall el-Bahr, near Tyre, targeting a UNIFIL patrol, but the device failed to explode," the army said. An army spokesman said the network was planning two other attacks in the same area with the aim of killing a large number of UNIFIL troops.
