BEIRUT: A long-awaited security plan for Beirut and its southern suburbs will be implemented before the end of April, Interior Minister Nouhad Machnouk said Wednesday.
“The security plan, which has been implemented across many Lebanese areas, will be carried out in the capital Beirut and the southern suburbs before the end of this month,” Machnouk told local daily As-Safir.
He said he will chair a meeting of the Central Security Council on Thursday in order to resolve some outstanding points, including the share of each security institution in the implementation plan.
Machnouk said 14 wanted men, including a kingpin, have been arrested over the past few days strict the Lebanese Army and police took strict security measures along the Beirut airport road.
He said security forces will pursue and arrest other suspects, including two gang leaders.
