BEIRUT, Oct. 8 (Xinhua) -- Lebanon's state security arrested on Tuesday head of Islamist Jundallah party Sheikh Kanaan Naji in Tripoli, north of the country, local media reported.

Abdel Rahman Mabsout, an Islamic State member who blew himself up in Tripoli's terror attack on June 3, had worked as a bodyguard for Naji, according to online newspaper Elnashra.

"Mabsout bought the weapons used in Tripoli's terrorist attack from other bodyguards working for Naji," it said, adding that these bodyguards were arrested.
