Sources to LBCI: Palestinian national Marwan Hammadi is not Hermel suicide bomber

2^min

"DNA tests proved that Palestinian national Marwan Hammadi is not Hermel suicide bomber," military sources told LBCI on Wednesday.

This comes after security sources told Al-Joumhouria newspaper that Marwan Hammadi, who hails from the southern town of al-Baysaryeh, was the suicide bomber behind the explosion that rocked Hermel on Saturday night.

The sources added that Hammadi was a friend of Palestinian national Nidal al-Moughayar, one of Bir Hassan suicide bombers.

The same sources also said that Hammadi had left along with all his family from al-Baysaryeh town while al-Moughayyar was revealed as a suicide bomber and his father's car and house were set ablaze.

"They had all disappeared, which proves that all members of Hammadi's family were aware about his act," the sources said.

Two LAF members and a civilian were killed in the explosion that targeted an army checkpoint in the area of Jisr al-Aassi at the entrance of the Bekaa town of Hermel.

Security sources said that the explosion was caused by a car bomb, adding that the suicide bomber detonated himself after LAF members reached to search his car. The sources noted that the explosive-laden vehicle was heading to the town of Hermel, and was not planning on carrying out the attack at the checkpoint.

Al-Nusra Front in Lebanon claimed responsibility for the attack.
