Lebanese radical Salafi sheikh, Ahmad al-Assir, has been appointed as head of the terrorist al-Nusra Front group in Lebanon, media reports say.
Suspects in the deadly overnight attack on the Lebanese Army in south Lebanon likely had links to both Salafi-labelled Sheikh Ahmad Assir and al-Qaeda affiliated al-Nusra Front.
The suicide terrorist attacks targeting the Iranian Embassy in Beirut were conducted by al-Qaeda-linked militants, Lebanese Parliament Speaker says.
