Ahmed Ammoun was charged with killing and wounding soldiers during clashes with the army in Arsal, where he was arrested.

Saqr also charged him with killing a member of the police intelligence as well as assassinating a defected Syrian colonel from the Rifai family.

Ammoun was also charged for his alleged involvement in bombings which took place in the southern suburbs of Beirut in 2014 and a bombing that targeted the eastern Bekaa region one year earlier, the Daily Star reproted.

Members of Lebanon's Military Intelligence ambushed Ammoun's vehicle on Arsal's outskirts on Feb. 22, prompting a gun fight.

Ammoun is a distant relative of Walid Ammoun, another Daesh suspect, arrested earlier this month over the killing of Zaher Ezzedine, the police intelligence member.

Walid Ammoun was captured during a massive army offensive inside Arsal on Feb. 3 that left six suspected Daesh militants dead. Sixteen were arrested in total, 13 of whom were later charged.

Daesh militants, as well as fighters who belong to the Al-Qaeda-affiliated Nusra Front, have been holed up in the rugged and restive outskirts of Arsal for nearly two years.

The Lebanese Army has pounded their hideouts on a nearly daily basis since January 2015 to keep them at bay.
