[An Nahar] One of the jacket wallahs behind the attack against the Iranian embassy in Beirut last week had arrived in Leb from Kuwait two months ago, reported An Nahar daily on Tuesday.
It said that Moein Abu Dahr spent the two months residing in Leb and Syria and that he entered the countries using his identification card.
Investigations also revealed that he had held a telephone conversation with an inmate at Roumieh prison, who was nabbed

over his links to unrest in the Abra neighborhood in the southern city of Sidon in June.
The other suicide bomber, Adnan al-Mohammed, was a Paleostinian resident of Ein el-Hellhole.
Investigations also revealed that the Abu Dahr and Mohammed had been indicted by the military judiciary for their links to the Abra festivities.
They were supporters of Salafist holy man Sheikh Ahmed al-Asir

, but not prominent members of his following, it explained.
Supporters of the holy man were involved in festivities with the army in Abra in June.
Eighteen soldiers were martyred and 20 others were maimed in the attack and in the fierce festivities that ensued. Twenty of Asir's gunnies were also killed in the fighting.
The fighting in Abra was among the worst in Leb since the outbreak of conflict in neighboring Syria 27 months ago deepened sectarian tensions.

Twenty-five people were killed and over 140 maimed in twin suicide kaboom near the Iranian embassy in the Bir Hassan neighborhood of Beirut on November 19.
An al-Qaeda-affiliated group, the Abdullah Azzam Brigades, grabbed credit for the attack, saying that it was aimed at pressuring Hizbullah to withdraw its fighters from Syria.
