Lebanese policemen detain a man (in white) following a raid at hotel in Beirut June 20, 2014. Police said they arrested a group of suspected militants in the raid in Beirut on Friday and said they included foreigners and one Lebanese. A top Lebanese security official said he had narrowly missed an assassination attempt on Friday when a suicide bomber detonated explosives at a checkpoint in the country's Bekaa valley near Syria, killing one and wounding 37. The attack follows heightened security in Lebanon where police have launched a campaign to detain people they suspect of links to al Qaeda and other militant groups.
