BEIRUT (AP) Lebanese state media says military prosecutor Saqr Saqr has charged seven people with "acts of terrorism" over deadly mosque bombings in the northern city of Tripoli.
The National News Agency says Monday that three of those charged are in detention while the rest are at large.
The Aug. 23 blasts, which targeted two Sunni Muslim mosques and killed 47 people, came less than two weeks after a deadly explosion in a Shiite neighborhood south of Beirut.
At least one of the detainees comes from Tripoli's neighborhood of Jabal Mohsen, which is predominantly Alawite the minority sect of Syrian President Bashar Assad.
Syria's civil war has spilled over to Lebanon on several occasions, triggering clashes in Tripoli between Sunnis and Alawites.
