Report: Security Measures in Beirut Counter Attack Schemes
Investigations with a Syrian female detainee revealed that she had a scheme to carry out a suicide attack in the southern suburbs of Beirut during the month of Ramadan, a report said.
The suspect was recently arrested in al-Rahma Syrian encampment near the town of Bebnin in the northern district Akkar.
Fruitful cooperation between two security apparatuses led to her arrest before she could do any harm, the report added.
Moreover, two assailants were arrested after they were tasked by the Islamic State group to carry out an attack in Beirut taking advantage the lack of heightened security during the current phase, a security source told An Nahar daily on condition of anonymity.
According to the source, the attack was planned to take place in a crowded area in Beirut to kill the largest number of civilians .
