A Syrian suspected of staging an attack last week against a
Hezbollah convoy in eastern Lebanon has been arrested by the army,
Lebanon's official National News Agency has said.
"A Lebanese army intelligence unit raided on Monday night a house in Majdal Anjar in the (eastern) Bekaa valley and arrested a man," said the NNA on Tuesday.
It said the man, a Syrian, is "suspected of having planted several days earlier the bomb on the road leading to the Masnaa (border post) that targeted a Hezbollah vehicle".
On July 16, one person was killed and three others wounded in a bomb blast that hit a convoy of vehicles of Lebanon's powerful Shiite movement, that was en route to the Syrian border, a security source said.
The dead man was among the passengers of the convoy but it was not clear if he was a Hezbollah member. - AFP
