Two Lebanese soldiers were killed by "terrorists" overnight in the north of the country, the army command said on Sunday. "Terrorists in a car opened fire on the guards of an army post in the locality of Arman-Minieh...Two soldiers were killed, in addition to one terrorist," it said in a statement. "The other terrorists fled," the statement said, adding troops had launched an operation to track them down. The incident comes amid an ongoing operation to locate a cell involved in the recent killing of four soldiers and three other people. The army said on Friday that it had detained a suspect in the killing of the four troops in the Hilane-Zgharta area east of the northern port city of Tripoli. Security sources said Saturday that Lebanese security forces killed at least two militants during a heavy exchange of fire with an armed group in northeast Lebanon, close to the Syrian border. The group included Syrians and Lebanese, the sources said, adding that the scale of the clash, in which militants fired rocket propelled grenades, prompted the Lebanese army to cordon off the area. The sources said the group included people linked to the militant Khaled al-Talawi.
