The State Security General Directorate arrested on Saturday a Syrian national (with initials Ch.M.S), after receiving information about his association with terrorist organizations.

During his interrogation, he admitted to what he was accused of, mainly that he belonged to the Chadi Mawlawi and Oussama Mansour terrorist groups.

The arrested also admitted to having been in contact with a wanted Lebanese (of initials A.A.M), with whom he exchanged channels that incite for terrorism operations and fighting against the Lebanese Army.

After the Battle of Bab al-Tabbaneh, he continued to communicate with the Lebanese (A.A.M), expressing his willingness to carry out security operations. He was commissioned to monitor the movements and the residence of a Lebanese army soldier with plans for assassinating him.

During the year 2017, he began conspiring with the Lebanese (A.A.M) to monitor one of the Lebanese army checkpoints with the aim of targeting it with a double suicide attack, which was later postponed due to certain obstacles.

Following the interrogation, the arrestee was referred to the concerned court for further measures while investigation continues to arrest other involved parties.
