Beirut - Arab Today
The identity of a suicide bomber, who allegedly had a hand in the double bombing outside the Iranian embassy in Beirut Tuesday, was unveiled.
The suicide bomber is a Lebanese from the City of Sidon. He is a close associate of the fugitive Salafi Sheikh Ahmed Al-Aseer.
At least 22 people were killed and more than 140 injured in a double suicide bombing outside the Iranian embassy in the Lebanese capital.
The Iranian cultural attache, Sheikh Ibrahim Ansari, was among the dead.
Iran is a major backer of the Lebanese Shia militant group Hezbollah, which has sent fighters to Syria to back the government of Bashar al-Assad.
The Sunni jihadist group Abdullah Azzam Brigades said they were behind the attack.
