The detainee was arrested on charges of tossing explosives in towns and villages in the Bekaa in collaboration with a Lebanese who had been arrested earlier.
He is also accused of tasking unknown individuals of taking photos of certain targets in Bekaa towns in favor of the terrorist al-Nour Brigades which is commissioned to carry out attacks to destabilize Lebanon's security and stability.
