A Lebanese military court
handed down three death sentences for spying for Israel Friday, two of them in
absentia, the state National News Agency news agency reported.
The court ordered the death
penalty for Haitham Sahmarani, who is in custody, and Sahira Sahmarani and her
husband Mohammed Amin Khazaal, who are both at large, the news agency said.
More than 100 people have
been arrested on suspicion of spying for the Israeli Mossad since April 2009,
including members of the security forces and telecom employees.
Several have since been
sentenced to death, including one found guilty of aiding Israel during its
devastating 2006 war with Hezbollah.
