Hammoud: Autopsy Report Will Determine whether Majed's Corpse Will Be Handed to His Family

Acting General Prosecutor Judge Samir Hammoud stated on Wednesday that the corpse of the “emir” of the Abdullah Azzam Brigades Majed al-Majed has not yet been handed over to his family in Saudi Arabia, reported the National News Agency.

He told NNA: “The findings of the autopsy report will determine whether he will be returned to his family.”

The report is expected to be released on Thursday, he added.

Majed was recently by the Lebanese authorities.

He died in military hospital after the deterioration of his health.

Media reports said that he was suffering from kidney problems.

The Abdullah Azzam Brigades claimed responsibility for the November 19 bombings of the Iranian embassy in Beirut.

Majed was also wanted in Saudi Arabia on terrorism charges.
