BEIRUT, 24 Rabi'I 1436, January 15, 2015, SPA -- The Lebanese army said it has arrested three men suspected of plotting a series of suicide attacks meant to target military outposts and residential areas. The army said in a statement on Thursday that the suspects ” two Lebanese and one Syrian” were arrested while carrying forged identification papers. It also accused the men of having fought in the civil war in neighboring Syria and of having pledged allegiance to unspecified terrorist organizations. The army said the attacks allegedly planned by the suspects were to follow the double suicide bombing in the northern Lebanese city of Tripoli on Saturday that killed nine people. --SPA 21:42 LOCAL TIME 18:42 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w
