REPORT: Lebanese journalist dies of wounds sustained during Haret Hreik explosion

2^min

Lebanese journalist Abbas Karnib died Monday of wounds he sustained during Haret Hreik deadly blast.

He succumbed to his wounds at the Bahman hospital.

On Saturday, a statement in the name of the al Qaeda-linked militant group Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant claimed responsibility for a suicide bombing in the Hezbollah stronghold of southern Beirut that killed more than 4 people.

The purported ISIL claim, which also warned of further attacks, came in a statement responding to an offensive against the group by rival forces in northern Syria over the last two days in which dozens of people have been killed.

A powerful explosion shook southern Beirut, a stronghold of Hezbollah, on Thursday 2nd of January, killing at least 4 people and injuring over 77 others.

Two suicide bombers struck the Iranian embassy in southern Beirut in November in an attack claimed by the al Qaeda-linked Abdullah Azzam Brigades, whose leader died in a Lebanese military hospital on Saturday.

The army said Thursday's attack had been carried out by a suicide bomber identified through DNA tests as Qoutayba Mohamad al-Satem. Lebanese media said Satem was a 19-year-old from Wadi Khaled, in north Lebanon close to the Syrian border.
