Lebanon

Security forces captured Taha al Hajj Suleiman, the Syrian member of Fatah al Islam who escaped from a high security prison in Beirut yesterday. Seven other members of the group were prevented from escaping. Suleiman’s escape led to the firing of more than 360 prison officials for poor performance.
