Head of the Higher Judicial Council Judge Jean Fahd set a May 12, 2017, date to begin trials in the 2013 double bombings of al-Salam and al-Taqwa mosques in the northern city of Tripoli, the State-run National News Agency reported on Monday.
On August 23, 2013, two car bombs exploded outside the al-Taqwa and al-Salam mosques in Tripoli, leaving 45 people dead and more than 800 injured.
In 2016, Lebanon's court indicted two Syrian intelligence officers in the bombings who supervised the operation. The first is a captain in the Syrian Intelligence Palestine Branch Mohammed Ali Ali and the official in the Political Security Division Nasser Jouban.
The indictment issued arrest warrants against the suspects and a permanent investigation to uncover the identities of involved senior officials who gave orders and orchestrated the attack.
Investigations have shown that the orders originated from a senior security branch in the Syrian Intelligence.

You keep talking about a bombing that happend 4 years ago, we do not hear alot about the Beirut bombings that killed many more people.
The Internal Security forces are all in March 14's pocket, that is the reason they want the Resistance to drop their arms, so March 14 can take over Lebanon by force.
