Bir Hassan twin blasts' death toll rises to 10, Judge Saqr hands over 4 bodies to families

The State Commissioner to the Military Court Judge Saqr Saqr called Thursday on the security apparatuses to remove the damaged vehicles from the explosion site in South Beirut’s Bir Hassan and to reopen the roads in the area.

Judge Saqr handed over four bodies to their families, awaiting the results of the DNA tests conducted to confirm the identities of the suicide bombers.

The sources added that one Syrian national, identified as Mohammad Taleb Abou Nouri who works at a shop in the area, remains missing.

On Wednesday morning, two explosions rocked South Beirut's Bir Hassan region near the Iranian Cultural Center, across the Kuwaiti Embassy roundabout, killing at least ten people and wounding 129 others. The explosions were caused by suicide bombers and explosive-laden vehicles. 

The Abdullah Azzam Brigades claimed responsibility for the twin attack via their twitter account, a group affiliated with al-Qaeda and one that had previously attacked the area citing Hezbollah's interference in the Syrian crisis as the main reason, demanding the release of Muslim inmates from Lebanese prisons.
