A Lebanese army soldier defected to the al-Qaeda-linked al-Nusra Front after abandoning his post in the eastern town of #Ersal overnight Tuesday, security sources told Al-Akhbar. Atef Saadeddine left the army to join the jihadi group after making off with three M16 rifles, night vision goggles and a walkie-talkie, the sources said. Saadeddine’s disappearance was initially believed to have been the result of a kidnapping, but it was quickly deduced that he had left voluntarily.
