Syrian security operatives have thwarted a suicide bombing at a soccer stadium in Damascus by aides to jailed Fatah al-Islam leader Shaker al-Abssi.
The daily newspaper al-Liwaa said Saturday that the five-member terrorist cell had planned to bomb out al-Abbasiyeen soccer stadium during a major competition a month ago to avenge Abssi's arrest.
The report said Syrian intelligence operatives arrested Abssi two months ago at the low-income Meliha district in southern Damascus.
Intelligence operatives carried out a "major house raid in the district, which resulted in arresting Abssi," the report added.
Abssi escaped an assault by the Lebanese Army on his base at the northern refugee camp of Nahr al-Bared more than a year ago and went missing.
Al-Liwaa said Lebanese authorities are to officially ask Syrian authorities for information on Abssi. |
