General Rifi: More Spy Cells to Be Uncovered Soon

Lebanese Internal Security Forces chief Ashraf Rifi told Assafir daily that the ISF had arrested an agent with the ‘Israeli' Mossad a few months ago, but kept his identity disclosed. He added that this move have paved the way for the dismantling of many spying cells in Lebanon.

On Friday, security forces dismantled another two ‘Israeli' spying networks in south Lebanon comprising five Lebanese nationals.

The number of collaborators arrested since the beginning of 2009 has risen to 22. They have been referred to military court after they had been charged for collaboration with the enemy.

Rifi added that the arrest of retired General Adib Alam had played a fundamental and decisive role in dismantling a number of spying cells. The ISF General expected more cells will be dismantled soon.
