The Lebanese authorities are reported to have arrested the head of a jihadist group that claimed the suicide bomb attack on Iran's embassy in November.

Defence Minister Fayez Ghosn told AFP that Majid al-Majid, the Saudi "emir" of the al-Qaeda-affiliated Abdullah Azzam Brigades, was being held by Lebanese army intelligence in Beirut.

Hezbollah's al-Manar television also said Majid was detained "recently".

The embassy attack killed 23 people, including the Iranian cultural attache.

A cleric close to the Abdullah Azzam Brigades warned attacks would continue in Lebanon until Hezbollah forces stopped fighting alongside government forces in Syria and its prisoners were released in Lebanon.

1. Another Saudi. They and their money turn up in the darnedest places.

I think it's time for the House of Saud's run to come to an end.

2. Amen, fuck those hypocrites.

They export their fundy nutcases and then fund them just a long as they keep their murderous hobbies confined to outside the kingdom.
