Amama said the Islamic State holds 11 soldiers and a corpse, and the Al Nusrah Front holds 18 captive security forces after releasing two yesterday. Four members of a criminal gang led by a woman were arrested near Arsal for luring and killing eight people in order to rob them; the gang sold the stolen goods to the rebels. Hussein al Hussein, who operated the Twitter account for the so-called Free Sunnis of Baalbek Brigades, has confessed to inciting sectarian violence online and publishing claims of responsibility for terrorist attacks.
