Lebanon nets 10 for plotting attacks on UN
The Lebanese army said yesterday it had arrested 10 people suspected of belonging to a "terrorist network" plotting attacks against UN peacekeeping troops stationed in southern Lebanon.
"Our investigation has shown that this network was planning to smuggle wanted terrorists out of Ain al-Helweh (refugee camp) ... smuggle Fatah al-Islam fighters into Ain al-Helweh, to carry out attacks from Lebanon on targets abroad and create terrorist cells to monitor Unifil and the army in order to carry out terrorist attacks on them," an army statement said.
