The Lebanese Army Intelligence referred on Saturday six detainees to the court for having links to the terrorist cell led by Mohammad al Satem, the military said in a statement.

“The army referred six detainees of the terrorist cell led by fugitive Mohammad al-Satem to the judiciary. The cell had plans to establish, in collaboration with another group in Khirbet Daoud, a security zone to target and control army positions in a bid to facilitate the entry of ISIL members from Syria to Lebanon to establish an emirate in the area of Akkar,” the statement added.

The army confiscated from their houses large quantities of weapons, military ammunition, grenades, narcotics and electronic parts.
