The Lebanese army has arrested seven people, including two soldiers, suspected of being part of a Sunni Islamist network which had planned to carry out attacks on military targets, security sources said on Tuesday.
"The army arrested a Salafi network with connections to al-Qaeda that wanted to blow up military bases," one of the sources said. "They had recruited two from the army - one is a sergeant and another is a student officer - and five civilians." He said the Lebanese army was negotiating the handover of the group's leader, a Palestinian, with the authorities who run one of the Palestinian refugee camps in Lebanon. (Reuters)
