The al Qaeda-linked Abdullah Azzam Brigades conducted a double suicide attack at the Iranian Cultural Center in Beirut, killing at least eight people and wounding 128. The group also threatened further attacks against Iran and Hezbollah if their forces are not withdrawn from Syria and jihadists are not freed from Lebanese prisons. The army released a photo of a suspect in the attack. Mohammad Toufic Taha, a known terrorist in the Ain al-Hilweh Palestinian refugee camp, is rumored to have replaced Majid al Majid as the head of the Abdullah Azzam Brigades. The Al Nusrah Front in Lebanon claimed it fired five Grad rockets at Brital and al-Nabi Shayth in the Bekaa valley.
