Tehran, YJC. Reports say that Lebanese security forces have arrested Majid al-Majid
It is said that the leader of the bombing
operation at Iran’s Embassy in Beirut has been detained.
Al-Mayadeen TV channel reported on Tuesday that Lebanese security sources have said they have Majed al-Majed under arrest.
Majed was the Saudi commander of the al-Qaeda affiliated group Abdullah Azzam Brigades, which claimed responsibility for an attack on Iran’s Embassy in Beirut in November.
The Lebanese LBCI television reported on Tuesday that Majed had been arrested about a week ago in the Lebanese capital, Press TV reports.
Lebanese authorities are waiting for the results of DNA tests to verify Majed's identity.

On November 19, two bomb attacks outside the Iranian Embassy in Beirut killed 25 people and injured more than 150.
On December 3, Hezbollah Secretary General Seyyed Hassan
Nasrallah said Saudi Arabia is behind the bombing, adding that he has no doubt
