Syrian Woman Arrested for Transferring Funds to Terror Group
A Syrian woman was arrested on charges of transferring funds to a terrorist group, announced the General Security on Tuesday.
The detainee confessed to providing financial and logistic support to the Abdullah Azzam Brigades through a member of the group.
She has since been referred to the concerned judiciary for further investigation.
Efforts are underway to track down her accomplices.
The al-Qaida-affiliated Abdullah Azzam Brigades has been involved in recent years in attacks against Hizbullah targets in Lebanon, which started when the party became involved in fighting in Syria.
The party has intervened in the conflict on the side of the Syrian regime.
The terror group had also issued warnings against security forces in Lebanon over their crackdown against extremists in the country.
