Lebanon: Former minister to be indicted over terror plot

Lebanon's official news agency said a military court indicted a pro-Syrian former minister along with one of Assad's top security aides of plotting to carry out terrorist attacks in Lebanon. The National News Agency says the indictment against Michel Samaha, a former information minister, followed his arrest Thursday.

Samaha is one of the most ardent Lebanese supporters of the Syrian regime. According to the indictment, Samaha allegedly plotted the assassination of political and religious figures in Lebanon using explosives furnished by Mamlouk. (Reuters)
