The Lebanese army arrested on Wednesday a Syrian who threatened to blow himself up at the Lebanese University in Zahle, reported the National News Agency.
It said that Youssef Ali Mubarak was threatening to blow himself up with an explosive belt he was wearing.
The security forces revealed that they had received a telephone call from the university's Humanities Faculty, saying that Mubarak had threatened the students that he was going to blow himself up.
This created a panic among the students, but the army soon intervened and arrested Mubarak.
The reasons behind his threats were not disclosed.
