US warns of post-Ramadan threat Bomber linked to extremists Rush hour blast in Lebanon

Beirut - The Lebanese army says troops have arrested members of a terrorist group allegedly involved in recent bombings in northern Lebanon.

Sunday's statement says several people from a "terrorist cell" were arrested for their involvement in the August 13 and September 29 bombings in Tripoli.

The bombings killed a total of 25 people, most of them Lebanese soldiers.

The statement did not give further details. But a security official speaking on condition of anonymity because he was not authorised to talk to the press said three Palestinians were among those arrested.

The statement says an explosives belt in their possession was confiscated.

It says troops were still pursuing Abdel-Ghani Jawhar, a leading member of the cell.
