4 Booby-Trapped Vehicles Bound for Lebanon Seized in Nabak

Local Editor

Al-Manar television on Sunday broadcasted a video showing four booby-trapped vehicles seized by the Syrian army in the key town of Nabak, one of the last rebel-held areas in the Qalamoun region bordering Lebanon.

Al-Manar explained that the explosive-rigged vehicles were prepared to be used in bomb attacks in Lebanon.
The vehicles - two vans, an ambulance and a Hyundai car - were supposed to enter the country via the Bekaa border town of Arsal.

On Tuesday, Hizbullah Secretary General His Eminence Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah said three booby-trapped cars were found in a warehouse in Nabak.

"Most of the booby-trapped cars that were sent to Lebanon came from Yabrud and Nabuk via Arsal," Sayyed Nasrallah added, noting that had Hizbullah refrained from intervening militarily in Syria's Qusayr and Qalamoun areas, "dozens and hundreds of explosive-rigged cars would have entered Lebanon."

On November 22, a car rigged with hundreds of kilograms of explosives was found between the towns of Maqne and Younine in the eastern Bekaa Valley.
And on October 14, a booby-trapped car was found in Beirut's southern suburb of al-Maamoura. Earlier this year, two bombings rocked the Dahyieh [Beirut Southern Suburbs] of Bir al-Abed and Rweiss, martyring and wounding dozens of people.

Syrian regime forces made gains Sunday in the town of Nabak.

Syrian state television said regime forces were "continuing to rake orchards in Nabak, and have discovered a terrorist lair containing medical equipment and drugs."
