The spokesman of al-Meqdad clan's military wing, Maher al-Meqdad, denied on Monday that he knows the reasons behind his arrest in September.
He pointed out in comments published in An Nahar newspaper that the clan had handed over to General Security Chief Maj. Gen. Abbas Ibrahim the Turkish hostage without imposing any conditions.
Maher said that the fate Hassan al-Meqdad, who was kidnapped in Damascus in August, is still unknown.
On Saturday, military tribunal Judge Imad al-Zein issued a decision to release Maher on a LL12 million bail on condition he doesn't leave the country.
Several other members of the Maqdad family were arrested in September during raids on Beirut's southern suburbs and other areas.
The raids came after the clan went on an abduction spree of Syrians and Turkish nationals to avenge the kidnapping of family member Hassan.
