ISF Deny Claims that Spy Network Infiltrated Resistance

The Internal Security Forces - Public Relations denied to Al-Manar press reports concerning investigations with the espionage network working for the Zionist entity. In a call with Al-Manar, the ISF said that claims that the spy network succeeded in infiltrating the Resistance group.

Earlier, Lebanese daily An-Nahar said that state investigations into the spy network have revealed the involvement of three Hizbullah members. The intelligence bureau of the Internal Security Forces has informed Hizbullah of the findings and said the three suspects "were trailed for a while before taken into custody for questioning," the daily said. It added that findings were made possible after the forces "were allowed unlimited access to the database (in the Telecoms Ministry), something Hizbullah had opposed in the past."

The three suspects are the latest in a string of arrests that included a former security officer, detained on Saturday, and retired Lebanese army general accused of being the ring leader of the network.
