The Army is preparing to fend off further terrorist attacks by the Al Nusrah Front and other jihadist groups, in the wake of recent threats and a European terror assessment warning that diplomatic, military, and governmental sites may be targeted. A judge issued arrest warrants for 12 suspected terrorists from the Al Nusrah Front, the Abdullah Azzam Brigades, and the Ziad Jarrah Brigades. Gunmen killed senior Fatah official Brig. Gen. Jamil Zeidan in the Ain el-Hilweh Palestinian refugee camp. Sheikh Omar al-Atrash confessed to moving weapons from Lebanon to Syria.
