Saqr Extends Detention of Tripoli Bombing Suspects
State Commissioner to the Military Court Judge Saqr Saqr ordered on Wednesday the extension of the detention of suspects held over their connection to the twin bombings in the northern city of Tripoli on Friday, reported the National News Agency.
It said that he ordered that Sheikh Ahmed al-Gharib and Mustafa Houri's detention be extended for 24 hours over their links to the attacks.
Saqr had visited the Internal Security Forces Intelligence Bureau to inquire about the investigations and to listen to al-Gharib's testimony.
Forty-five people were killed and at least 800 wounded in bombings that targeted the Taqwa and al-Salam mosques in the northern city as worshipers were still performing weekly prayers.
The ISF on Tuesday published an illustration of a suspect linked to the attacks.
