State Commissioner to the Military Court Judge Saqr Saqr ordered on Saturday handing over the human remains of suicide bomber Qutaiba al-Satem to his family in the northern city of Akkar.
MTV noted that heavy gunfire shots were heard in Tripoli as Satem's remains arrived in the northern city.
The state-run National News Agency said later in the evening that the remains of al-Satem arrived in Akkar and that his funeral will be held on Sunday in Wadi khaled's Hneider town.
Meanwhile, information obtained by LBCI television assured also on Saturday that Satem had moved from the border region of Wadi Khaled to Syria's Yabrud and then to Lebanon where he executed the bombing in the Beirut neighborhood of Dahieh.
According to these information, al-Satem belonged to a group linked to a Sheikh from the al-Malbas family and that he was an active Salafist in Wadi Khaled.
“The suicide bomber was also in contact with another Sheikh from al-Maksour family and coordinated with him the recruitment of fighters to participate in Syria's ongoing war alongside extremist groups.”
However, later on Saturday, al-Malbas denied to LBCI that he recruits fighters to go to Syria, saying that he instead works on returning them to their families.
The army confirmed on Saturday that the young man from the North was the bomber who blew himself up.
"The DNA test results on the remains of a suicide attacker found in the car used in the bomb attack... confirm they belong to the youth Qutaiba al-Satem," said the military institution in a communique.
"Investigations are ongoing by the relevant judicial authorities to uncover the full details of the event," it added.
An official from Satem's native area of Wadi Khaled told Agence France Presse on Friday suspicions over the 20-year-old's role were based on a family document found at the scene of the blast.
Satem's father was then called in for DNA tests.
Thursday's blast killed four people and wounded more than 70 others while causing extensive damage to the nearby cars and buildings.
On Saturday, the al-Qaida-affiliated Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant on Saturday claimed credit for the bombing.
ISIL managed to penetrate the "security system of the Party of Satan (Hizbullah)... and crush its strongholds... in a first small payment from the heavy account that is awaiting those wicked criminals," according to a statement obtained by U.S.-based SITE Intelligence Group.

All Muslims are in the Middle Ages.!!!! They are 600 years behind christianism . They need 600 years to be where Christians are. In other words whether Sunnis or Shiite , it's the same thing but different position

Wat a shame, Lebanon's youth is lost because of this incompetent governement failing in creating job opportunities, and even destroying hundreds of thousands jobs by participating in syria's civil war. This guy was so desperate that he blew up himself. He's a victim of the system!
