REPORT: Majed al-Majed's body on its way to Saudi Arabia

The body of Majed al-Majed arrived to Beirut International Airport amid tight security measures, where it will be transported to Riyadh on board a Saudi Arabian Airlines’ plane.

In this regard, the photographers and journalists were not allowed to access the place where the coffin was placed before it was transported to the plane.

This comes after the Lebanese Armed Forces Command declared Friday that the body of Majed al-Majed was handed over to the Saudi Embassy in Beirut after completing the necessary medical and legal procedures.  

Earlier in the day, acting General Prosecutor Judge Samir Hammoud issued a decision on Friday whereby he announced that the body of Majed al-Majed will be handed over to the Saudi embassy, noting that it will be transported to the Kingdom later on upon his relatives' request, the state-run National News Agency reported.

On Thursday, Judge Hammoud said the forensic report on Majed al-Majed's body confirms that the cause of death is due to diseases and complications.

"The report on Abdallah Azzam Brigades’ leader was issued on Thursday evening," Hammoud said, adding that it has confirmed the content of the first report issued by the forensic doctor.

On Sunday, the Saudi Ambassador to Lebanon Ali Awad Asiri told LBCI that the relatives of Majed al-Majed submitted a request to the Saudi foreign ministry asking for the repatriation of his body to Saudi Arabia.

Ambassador Asiri also noted that the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia did not ask for an autopsy of the body.

A Lebanese army general said on Saturday the leader of an al-Qaeda-linked group that has conducted attacks across the Middle East before shifting its focus to Syria's civil war died in custody in Lebanon.                                                       

The general said Majed al-Majed died after suffering kidney failure.
