Al-Manar television quoted a security source on Sunday who said the army intelligence arrested a terrorist network consisting of four agents in the town of Majdel Aanjar in the Bekaa.

The source said the group ringleader is a biochemistry student at the Lebanese International University, a private school founded by former Defense and Education Minister Abdel Rahim Mrad.

The student was recruited at the school, according to the source.

NOW spoke with an official security source who, in response to Al-Manar’s unnamed informant, said “leaking” information is a “security scandal,” especially considering the “confidential nature of the investigation.”
