The army said DNA tests confirmed that the suspect arrested on Dec. 26 is Abdullah Azzam Brigades leader Majid al Majid, and called him one of the "most dangerous wanted men." Authorities identified the bomber in yesterday's suicide attack in Beirut as Qotaiba Mohammad al-Satem, a Lebanese man who reportedly had fought alongside the Islamic State of Iraq and the Sham in Syria. The army arrested four Syrians who entered the country illegally at Arsal. The Lebanese Forces denounced death threats against March 14 officials, and urged security forces to take necessary measures.
