Lebanon's army on Wednesday arrested Naim Abbas, a senior al Qaeda-linked militant, described by security sources as a "mastermind of car bombs" that targeted Shi'ite areas of the country. Hours after Abbas's arrest, security forces found two booby-trapped cars - one loaded with 100 kg of explosives in the Corniche al-Mazraa district of central Beirut and another in the village of Arsal, near the border with Syria.
