Lebanese Army Thwarts al-Nusra Militants to Enter Lebanon, Kills One

(Ahlul Bayt News Agency) - The Lebanese army reportedly opened fire at a mini-bus smuggling members from al-Nusra Front into the country through the Bekaa town of Arsal.The army opened fire at the mini-bus after the driver deliberately rejected to stop at a checkpoint in Arsal, killing one person and injuring two others.According to the state-run National News Agency, the driver of the bus is from al-Braidy family.The news agency reported that Syrians from al-Nusra Front were aboard the mini-bus.The al-Nusra Front, completely unknown before the rebellion in Syria that began two years ago, has been a rebel standard-bearer since mid-2012 when it became the spearhead of the insurgency ahead of the Free Syrian Army.The organization has been blacklisted in December by the United States as a "terrorist" organization./129
