Lebanon police seize explosives from pro-Syrian group in north
Lebanese police arrested seven people and seized large quantities of explosives, electrical fuses and timers in several homes in northern Lebanon on Thursday, a police statement said.

An official close to the investigation said those detained were members of the Syrian Social Nationalist Party, a pro-Syrian Lebanese political party. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak to the media.

The police statement said Prosecutor General Saeed Mirza ordered authorities to raid the homes in the district of Koura after receiving information of explosives stashed there. Police found large quantities of explosives with electrical fuses, timers as well as large numbers of weapons.

A Lebanese source said police also seized two stolen cars and a truck loaded with weapons and explosives.

1. Any unarmed political party in Lebanon is a stupid party.
Whether the fascist Falange, the communists, Hezbollah or whomever - they maintain armed forces of some sort.
