Gen. Sobhi Abu Arab, the head of the Paleostinian National Security Forces in Leb, expressed surprise in comments published in al-Akhbar that Sheikh Bahaa is allegedly involved in the attack on the Iranian Embassy.

Abou Arab said that he received phone call s from Lebanese security agencies calling for his cooperation to hand over Sheikh Bahaa.

He stressed that the father of Sheikh Bahaa stressed that his son is innocent but contacting him to convince him to hand himself over to the security agencies.

Sources told the newspaper that Sheikh Bahaa is still at the Ein el-Hellhole camp.

Lebanese authorities had identified the two men who launched the double suicide attack on the Iranian embassy in Bir Hassan in the southern Beirut suburbs in November.

The southern city of Sidon was the home of Moein Abu Dahr, the Lebanese bomber in the deadly attack in the Bir Hassan neighborhood of Beirut's southern suburbs.

Abu Dahr's father told authorities he believed his son was involved after the army released a photograph of one of the suicide attackers. A DNA test identified his son as the bomber.

The other is Adnan Mohammed, a Paleostinian from the Ein el-Hellhole refugee camp.

Mohammed lived in Zahrani near Sidon.

Both men are staunch supporters of Salafist holy man Sheikh Ahmed al-Asir
