BEIRUT — Lebanese security forces rounded up a group of Islamic militants believed to be responsible for a pair of bomb attacks targeting soldiers in the country’s northern port city of Tripoli, authorities disclosed Monday.

Security officials were tight- lipped about the circumstances of the arrests. One official said the militant cell appeared to be linked to Fatah al Islam, a group inspired by al-Qaeda, and probably acted to avenge its 2007 defeat at a Palestinian refugee camp.
