Military investigative judge issues arrest warrant against one person accused in the Al-Masnaa explosions

A Lebanese citizen identified as A.M. was pursued and brought in to court on Monday after being accused of planting explosions on the Al-Masnaa road.

Following an interrogation session with the suspect, military investigative Judge Imad Zein issued an arrest warrant against him.

On Tuesday the 16th of July, the national news agency reported that a bomb exploded at the junction of the Al-Azhar Mosque on the Majdel Anjar-Masnaa international road targeting a 4x4 runner with a plate number 259431/B.           

Sources told LBCI that the aforementioned registration number may have belonged to another vehicle, namely that of a Peugeot whose owner remains unknown.                     

The NNA added that wounded persons were transported to the Chtoura hospital and were identified as Hussein Ali Deir, Fady Abdel Karim, and another person from the Al-Hujairy family.                

Following the explosion, Lebanese Armed Forces cordoned off the site of the blast and mentioned that the bomb was remotely detonated.

Hezbollah convoys have been the target of explosions while en route to Syria with a similar incident taking place on both the 10th and 28th of June; however, no casualties were reported.
