The Ministry of Interior announced that the General Directorate of Criminal Investigation and Forensic Science has arrested three persons for forming a terrorist cell affiliated with the Lebanese Hezbollah terrorist organisation.

Those arrested are Ahmed Ahmed Hussain Madan, 24; Hassan Abdulameer Ashoor, 22; and Muntadhar Abdulmohsen Ali Madan, 29. The statements of the arrestees revealed that during their travel to Lebanon, they received weapons training after meeting with members of the Lebanese Hezbollah terrorist organisation.
