was allegedly the target of an liquidation bid, local newspapers reported on Friday.

According to As Safir and al-Akhbar newspapers, Lebanese national Mahmoud Abou Aalfa, who is affiliated to the Qaeda-linked Abdulllah Azzam Brigades, confessed that the bully boy group was plotting to assassinate Berri, who is the head of the AMAL movement.

Aalfa had reportedly acknowledged that several people were tasked with monitoring the entrances of the Beirut neighborhood of Ain el-Tineh and the places that Berri frequently visits.

The suspect pointed out, according to newspapers, that the scheme was to target the Speaker with a booby-trapped car by a jacket wallah or more.

Security sources unveiled that scheme was reaching the zero-hour.

Security agencies advised Berri to boost his security measures and lessen his movement amid the delicate circumstances.

The newspapers also reported that another group was also tasked with monitoring the residence of former Minister Wiam Wahad, who is head of the Arab Tawhid Party

On Wednesday, the head of the Lebanese Democratic Party, MP Talal Arslan, was urged to boost security measures after security agencies obtained information that he might be the target of an liquidation bid.

Earlier in February, media reports had said that former premier Najib Miqati has become a target for liquidation in light of their circulation of a security document alleging that a political figure in Beirut or the northern city of Tripoli
