Arrests over Lebanon bus bombings
The blasts occurred in a Christian area in the mountains east of Beirut
Arrests have been made in Lebanon in connection with the twin bus bombings last month which killed three people.
Security officials said four members of a little-known radical Palestinian group, Fateh al-Islam, had confessed, while one suspect remained at large.
They said the four men who were arrested were Syrians.
The attacks took place a day before the commemoration of the assassination of former Prime Minister Rafik Hariri, who was killed in a massive blast in 2005.
Lebanese Interior Minister Hassan al-Sabaa said the group was known to have close ties with the Syrian intelligence agency, but he said it was unclear who ordered the attack.
[It looks like Damascus, Syria is trying to use the cover of some Palestinian group to hit its enemies in Lebanon, because they still want Lebanon to act like its colony. The people they caught are Syrians.
That says enough.]
