Lebanon identifies second Iran embassy bomber
|
[Al Ahram] Lebanese authorities have identified the second jacket wallah who attacked the Iranian embassy in Beirut this week as a Paleostinian man with ties to a runaway Lebanese Islamist holy man, a security source said on Saturday.
Lebanese authorities had identified the first suicide bomber a day earlier as a Lebanese man with ties to hardline Sunni Musselmen groups.
The source said the second bomber, who lived in southern Leb, was a follower of Ahmed Al-Assir, a firebrand

Sunni Musselmen holy man whose Death Eater supporters fought a two-day battle with the Lebanese army in June after barricading themselves in a mosque in the southern port city of Sidon.
Assir, a staunch supporter of the revolt in neighbouring Syria, was known for fiery

sectarian and anti-Iranian rhetoric. He was not found when the army stormed the mosque and has been missing ever since.
Last Tuesday, twin blasts at the embassy killed 23 people, including the Iranian cultural attache, and maimed 146 others. A Lebanese group linked to Al-Qaeda, the Abdullah Azzam Brigades, claimed the bombings and threatened more attacks if Iran did not end its involvement in the 2-1/2-year-old Syrian conflict.
Lebanese authorities took the second bomber's father into custody for questioning, the security source said, after discovering that the bomber had ties to Assir.
