Army Communications Network Sabotaged
Unidentified assailants disconnected communication cables of the Lebanese Army in the Bekaa Valley town of Majdal Anjar overnight prompting a major search operation by the regular force on Wednesday for culprits.
Sources in the area said army patrols set up checkpoints in Majdal Anjar and launched house raids in search of the culprits.
No arrests were reported, however.
One source, speaking on condition of anonymity, said no tension was reported in the town, a reputed Sunni Muslim stronghold that commands the Masnaa border crossing into Syria.
The assignment in Majdal Anjar is the first reported by the Lebanese Army since withdrawal of Syrian troops from Lebanon in 2005.
