Lebanon Arrests Former Daesh Financial Official
BEIRUT (Dispatches) – Lebanese intelligence arrested a man on Wednesday they believe was a financial official for Daesh terrorist group in Syria, a security source said.
The Syrian, arrested in the northern Lebanese city of Tripoli, was responsible for collecting money for the terrorist group in Albu Kamal, a city in eastern Syria, before the group was expelled from the area, the source said.
In November, the Syrian army and its allies recaptured Albu Kamal, Daesh’s last significant town in Syria. Most Daesh terrorists withdrew from the town during the battle.
