General SecurityA Lebanese national, notoriously known for his human trafficking and gun running precedents, has been arrested by the police and officially charged with driving one of the suicide bombers who blew themselves up in last November's twin suicide bombing of Burj al-Brajneh suburb, the Directorate of General Security disclosed in a communiqué today.

Upon further interrogation, the charged Lebanese man admitted having driven one of the suicide bombers to Burj al-Barajneh upon direct instructions from a senior ISIL operative who got slain in a premature car-bomb which he himself prepared, the communiqué added.

The charged man has been handed over to the respective court of law for further prosecution, the Directorate of General Security concluded.

On November 12, two suicide blasts rocked the area of Burj al-Barajneh in Beirut's Southern Suburb (Dahiyeh), leaving over 43 martyrs and 211 injured.

The Lebanese security forces carried out a large scale crackdown in which it arrested almost all the terrorists who planned the blasts and assisted the suicide bombers.
