REPORT: Judge Saqr orders arrest of 3 suspects in Choueifat bombing
The State Commissioner to the Military Court Judge Saqr Saqr ordered the arrest of three persons over suspicion of involvement in the Choueifat bombing, the state-run National News Agency reported on Wednesday.

The agency said the taxi driver who had transported the suicide bomber to the scene of explosion was among the arrested.

“Judge Saqr referred the arrested to the Army Intelligence Directorate for further investigations,” the agency added.

One person was killed and several were wounded in an explosion in Choueifat’s Richani gas station on Monday evening.

Caretaker Interior Minister Marwan Charbel said the suicide bomber was the only one killed when he blew himself up inside a minibus, where one passenger was on board.

Charbel noted that the bomber may have boarded the vehicle in an attempt to reach the Beirut Southern Suburbs where security measures are difficult to trespass, leading the terrorist to have to recourse to the “suicide bombings planned location.”

The Interior Minister said that preliminary investigations based on the accounts of the minibus' driver allude to the suicide bomber's anxiety upon the driver's suspicion of his intentions - leading him to prematurely detonate the explosive belt he had been wearing.
