Report: Man Detained over Transferring Twin Bombings Suspects to Syria
Lebanese security forces detained a person who allegedly facilitated the fleeing of several suspects involved in the twin bombings that targeted two mosques in the northern city of Tripoli.
According to the pan-Arab daily al-Hayat published on Monday, the detained man is smuggling the suspects to the neighboring country Syria, including Ahmed Merhi, who is reportedly the driver of the second explosive-laden vehicle that blew up near al-Taqwa mosque.
On October 14, seven people involved in the August bombings were charged, including three in custody.
The charges include the formation of an armed gang for the purpose of carrying out terrorist activities and the bombing of al-Taqwa and al-Salam mosques on August 23.
Forty-five people were killed and over 800 wounded in the twin bombings.
