Lebanon's security forces have arrested retired Brig. Gen. Adib A. in Beirut's Dekwaneh district under suspicion he was collaborating with the Israeli Secret Service, the Mossad. Al Akhbar newspaper on Tuesday quoted a security official as saying the arrest was made on Saturday after three months of monitoring activities of a "group of suspects" on suspicion of collaboration with Israel in areas east and north of Beirut as well as southern Lebanon, particularly south of the Litani River.
Adib told interrogators that his task was limited solely to providing information, and that he played no operational role in assassination attacks or explosions, according to the report.
