General Security arrested on Friday a Syrian who has admitted to providing a leader of a militant group information about the Lebanese Armed Forces.

The suspect, who was identified by his initials as Aa.M., told investigators that he is a member of the network and has given Abou Suhaib al-Talli, a leading figure in the group, with information on the movement of the Lebanese army and the rest of the security agencies.

The Syrian also admitted to having the intention to join the ranks of the militant organization on the outskirts of the northeastern border town of Arsal, said General Security.

The agency referred him to the judiciary and said it was exerting efforts to arrest his accomplices.
