| [An Nahar] State Commissioner to the Military Court Judge Saqr Saqr on Monday authorized the handing over of the bodies of the two army troops who were killed in the Hermel blast to their families. The bodies were handed over after forensic doctor Fouad Ayyoub conducted DNA tests, state-run National News Agency reported. The agency said investigations are still ongoing in a bid to identify the jacket wallah who staged the attack. "A part of his face is still intact and one of his fingerprints is being analyzed," NNA said. An officer, a soldier and a civilian were killed on Saturday when a suicide bomber blew up a car rigged with 125 kilos of explosives at an army checkpoint at an entrance to the Bekaa town of Hermel. The attack was claimed by a group calling itself al-Nusra Front in Leb. |
