Lebanese security forces detained a person who allegedly facilitated the fleeing of several suspects involved in the twin bombings that targeted two mosques in the northern city of Tripoli.

According to the pan-Arab daily al-Hayat published on Monday, the detained man is smuggling the suspects to the neighboring country Syria, including Ahmed Merhi, who is reportedly the driver of the second explosive-laden vehicle that blew up near al-Taqwa mosque.

On October 14, seven people involved in the August bombings were charged, including three in custody.

The charges include the formation of an armed gang for the purpose of carrying out terrorist activities and the bombing of al-Taqwa and al-Salam mosques on August 23.

Forty-five people were killed and over 800 wounded in the twin bombings.

Yalla FT, Mowaten and Southern. Waiting for you to defend this terrorist suspect and bashar el assad. "it must be a fabrication". "Bashar is a saint and never has and never will harm Lebanon." go ahead... Pour your hearts out and defend this criminal like you defend others and justify their crimes through your lies.

When will the Lebanese realize that Syria will never leave Lebanon alone?
until the Lebanese unite against all foreign interference, Lebanon will always be in a state of flux.
