The Lebanese army has arrested a suspect in the killing earlier this month of a peacekeeper in the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) from Ireland who died when his convoy was shot at in southern Lebanon, officials said Tuesday.
The area of the Dec. 14 shooting attack, near the southern town of Al-Aqbiya, is a center of support for the Lebanese Hezbollah party, which has denied any role in the killing.
