    Ce matin, le quotidien an-Nahar rapportait que des groupes armés liés aux Brigades Abdallah Azzam, basés dans le camp palestinien de Aïn el-Héloué (Liban-sud), projetaient d’assassiner un haut responsable sécuritaire libanais. Se basant sur une note obtenue du Mossad (services de renseignements israéliens), la journaliste d’origine libanaise Julia Abou Araj (qui détient la nationalité israélienne depuis 2000) de la chaîne télévisée israélienne I 24, avait indiqué que la cible d’une éventuelle opération serait le directeur général de la Sûreté générale. Contacté par le quotidien libanais, un responsable de la Sûreté générale avait affirmé avoir consulté le document en question, estimant que les informations qu’il contenait étaient crédibles et se recoupaient avec d’autres informations en possession de son service de sécurité.

      A suicide bomber blew himself up at a police checkpoint in eastern Lebanon Friday, killing at least one policeman and injuring dozens of others.

      The target of the attack may have been General Security chief Abbas Ibrahim who told media that the bomb was detonated several minutes after his vehicle convoy had passed. He was not injured in the attack.

      The blast took place in the town of Dahr al-Baidar, about 35 kilometers east of Beirut, on a road that connects the Lebanese capital to Damascus.

      Head of the Internal Security Forces (ISF) Ibrahim Basbous said the suicide bomber detonated his vehicle as policeman Mahmoud Jamal ad-Din was searching it, killing him instantly.

      “The driver was travelling towards the direction of Beirut through the town of Sawfar. He was stopped at a police checkpoint, and detonated his vehicle while two members of the ISF were searching it,” Basbous told reporters at the scene.

      Basbous said six other ISF officers, two army soldiers and 23 civilians were injured in the attack. The health ministry put the casualty toll at one dead and 32 injured.

      An armed group affiliated with the Qaida-linked Abdullah Azzam Brigades is plotting to target a high-ranking security figure reportedly General Security chief Maj. Gen. Abbas Ibrahim, media reports said on Friday.

      Julie Abou Araj, an Israeli reporter, obtained the information from Israeli Mossad document, An Nahar newspaper reported.

      Abou Araj, who is of Lebanese origins and holds the Israeli citizenship since 2000, said in a report that the Mossad received the information through its agents who are operating in Ain el-Hilweh Palestinian refugee camp in southern Lebanon.

      The agents intercepted phone conversations between a terror group in the refugee camp that indicates a huge assassination bid is being plotted.

      The newspaper said that a booby-trapped car was being prepared inside the Ain el-Hilweh camp by Chechen experts to be delivered to a Palestinian delegation that holds routine meetings with Ibrahim, without its knowledge.

      The journalist said that Abdullah Azzam Brigades is seeking to assassinate Ibrahim since the Abra clashes between Salafist cleric Sheikh Ahmed al-Asir and the army in June 2013.
