Lebanese army detains an ISIS leader, other militants -security sources
BEIRUT - The Lebanese army detained an ISIS leader and 11 other militants in a dawn raid on Friday near the town of Arsal on the Syrian border, security sources said.
Ahmad Yousef Amoun, the leader, was wounded in a shootout during the raid. The army seized a large quantity of weapons and explosive belts, the sources said.
The town of Arsal was the location of a major attack by jihadists from ISIS and the al Qaeda-linked Nusra Front in 2014. ISIS is still holding nine Lebanese soldiers kidnapped by the group during the attack.
