BEIRUT: Two Lebanese employees of
state-run telecoms operator Ogero arrested last week on charges of collaborating
with Israel are expected to be referred to the Military Tribunal later Friday,
security sources told The Daily Star.
The two men – identified as Walid
Qaddoura and Shawqi Zantoun – were trailed for weeks and arrested last week in
the southern coastal city of Sidon after telecommunications analysis by
security forces suggested they were in contact with Israeli intelligence.
The two are being held at the
directorate general of Lebanese Army Military Intelligence and are expected to
be transferred later Friday to the Military Tribunal.
Earlier this year, an arrest warrant
was issued against a retired employee for Ogero after he was charged with
spying for Israel.
Lebanon has also charged two employees working
for Alfa, one of the country’s two mobilephone operators, with spying for the
Jewish state.http://www.dailystar.com.lb/News/Local-News/2012/Mar-02/165265-2-ogero-employees-to-be-referred-to-military-tribunal.ashx
