Syria: Al-Nusra FrontUnknown persons vandalized on Friday two billboards with writings in support of al-Qaeda-linked al-Nusra Front terrorist group fighting against the Syrian national army.

The Lebanese National News Agency reported that the vandals wrote the term “al-Nusra Front” on two billboards on the Iaat-Deir al-Ahmar road in the Bekaa.

They also wrote “the al-Nusra Front is coming” on a wall at a square in the town of Shlifa.

On June 10, a bomb was found in the Hay al-Sellom neighborhood in Beirut's southern suburbs allegedly signed by the al-Nusra Front.

Later in April, social media websites circulated a photograph of an SUV brandishing the flag of the armed group.

The Lebanese army had also arrested a number of individuals who belong to the group, some were trying to infiltrate into the Syrian territories with smuggled weapons to fight the regime.

The Syrian army launched a wide-scale military operation in April to put an end to the violent unrest in the country.

Syria was hit by the unrest since mid-March 2011, where the Syrian government accuses foreign actors of orchestrating the conflict by supporting the militant opposition groups with arms and money.
