BEIRUT: The Free Syrian Army Monday called on the Lebanese government to free a rebel commander arrested at a Lebanese Army checkpoint near Arsal Sunday.
“The Lebanese Army is not our enemy,” the FSA said in a statement carried by Elnashra website.
It urged the Lebanese government to free Abdullah Rifai, which the group identified as a colonel who heads the FSA Military Council.
The Lebanese Army said in a statement Sunday it arrested Rifai who was being smuggled into the country by Khaled Hujeiri, a local Arsal resident. He was caught with a forged Lebanese I.D.
A security source told The Daily Star that he was disguised in woman's clothing.
