Beirut - The Lebanese army said on Monday it had arrested a group of non-Lebanese planning to attack United Nations forces in south Lebanon.
"The Lebanese army's secret service arrested a network of terrorists that were watching the movements of UN Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) troops in south Lebanon and who were planning to carry out attacks against them," the army said.
"Our probe showed that the network planted an explosive device along the main road (near the southern city of Tyre) targeting a UNIFIL patrol but the device failed to explode," it added.
