The Internal Security Forces Intelligence Bureau uncovered on Wednesday the identity of the murderer of Wissam Bleiq, a member of Beirut's firefighting department and administrator of the Nijmeh football club youtube channel.

The assailant was identified as Hussein al-Houwwari, a member of the resistance brigades, reported Future television.

The brigades is affiliated with Hizbullah.

Bleiq was killed by a shot to the head on Saturday night.

Speculation had emerged on whether he was the victim of murder or a stray bullet.

A security source told An Nahar newspaper that the trajectory of the bullet, which had broken his vehicle's rear window and penetrated his head, could not have been made by a stray bullet.

Bleiq, 38, was killed as he was driving back to his Zidaniyeh home from his exchange shop, which had been robbed.

He leaves behind a wife and three children.

Nijemh club director Mohammed al-Idilby mourned Bleiq, saying: “The Nijmeh tree lost a big branch today, a youth, who had given without expecting anything in return.”

“He had aspired to develop the club into an institution we could be proud of and hand down to our children, but unfortunately he left before he can enjoy the product of his labor of love.”

Nijmeh player Abbas Atweh told An Nahar: “Bleiq is too great to be described in words. News of his death was a major shock, especially since Wissam did not make enemies with anyone.”
