Lebanon

A Pentagon official expressed concern over the rising risk of terrorist attacks on Lebanese state and military targets. The army searched a Syrian refugee camp in Al-Marj in the Bekaa valley for explosives, weapons, and wanted Syrian fugitives. Foreign Minister Bassil asked for Turkey’s help in locating two Syrian bishops kidnapped in April and Samir Kassab, a Lebanese journalist who disappeared in Syria in October.
