The house of extremist cleric Omar Bakri Mohammad, who has been banned from the UK, was raided during security sweeps in Tripoli that netted 75 arrests. Two rockets ready to launch toward the Shiite town of Nabi Othman, where the Al Nusrah Front in Lebanon carried out a suicide car bombing last month, were found in Arsal. Soldiers manning a border checkpoint in Wadi Hmayyed near Arsal opened fire on three suspected Al Nusrah members from Syria who refused to stop at the checkpoint, killing one and wounding the other two.
