BEIRUT: Newspaper reports that an Israeli spy ring was trying to assassinate top officials here were confirmed Tuesday. But there was no confirmation as to reports that Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, the leader of the Hizbullah resistance movement, was among the targets.
Hizbullah would not comment on the arrests, but a top judicial source did confirm them and said that three people were now in custody and two others were on the run.
This came after Public Prosecutor Adnan Addoum told Reuters no such case had been referred to the judiciary, and that "this was media talk."
In its front-page story on Tuesday, As-Safir daily had reported that a Palestinian woman in her 40s was in custody for having established the ring.
Also, according to Reuters, Israel declined to comment.
As-Safir said that the woman was arrested after one of her would-be recruits warned Hizbullah. It also reported that she was plotting to kill Nasrallah using explosives and poison.
On Tuesday, a higher judicial source confirmed the arrests. The source said the ring was plotting to execute explosions and assassinations in several areas in Lebanon.
The source confirmed the arrests of three people: a Palestinian woman, a Lebanese man and an Egyptian worker established here and said that they are being questioned by the judiciary and under the supervision of the state prosecutor's office and the military prosecutor's office.
Two others, identified as Walid, are reportedly part of the ring and still on the run.
"The Mossad had begun building the ring months ago with the help of the Palestinian woman ... who holds a Tunisian passport because she is married to a Tunisian national," the Judicial source added.
According to the same source, the woman, a merchant of Israeli clothes and jewelry identified only as Jamal M, was hired by the Mossad in Tunis.
She reportedly later recruited the Lebanese, identified as Kamal A., from the Southern village of Naameh.
The same woman reportedly then met the alleged Egyptian spy and recruited him after she had become his lover.
She was reportedly about to blow-up the Al-Bashaer radio station in the Beirut southern suburb of Haret Hreik, which is affiliated with Fadlallah and the Holy Koran station, which belongs to the higher Sunni authority, Dar al-Fatwa.
"She was also tasked with recruiting Shiite collaborators from the southern suburbs in order to assassinate a leading figure from that area," the source added, without mentioning the identity of the figure.
Also, State Prosecutor Adnan Addoum and Military Public Prosecutor Jean Fahd had reportedly held an extraordinary meeting on Monday evening regarding the matter.
