Lebanese authorities have intercepted telephone conversations between the leaders of militants who captured Arsal, a town in northeastern Lebanon, over the weekend and inmates at Roumieh prison, security officials said.
The officials, who were not identified, told As Safir daily published on Thursday that the phone calls also involved some Islamists in the northern city of Tripoli and the Ain el-Hilweh Palestinian refugee camp near the southern city of Sidon.
Ain el-Hilweh is known to harbor extremists while many Islamists are held imprisoned in Roumieh.
The officials identified two suspects with their initials as R.M. and A.M., saying they ran some operations in Arsal and Tripoli.
