Morning Star.png Beirut, Baghdad: Seven Syrians, Two Lebanese Arrested The Morning Star, London, 16 November 2015 Lebanese authorities have arrested seven Syrians and two Lebanese suspected of involvement in the weekend of terror attacks. Interior Minister Nohad Machnouk announced the arrests yesterday, three days after a double suicide attack - claimed by Islamic State (Isis) - in the southern Beirut district of Burj al-Barajneh killed 43 people and wounded more than 230. Mr Machnouk said the attackers had been planning to strike the nearby Rasoul al-Aazm hospital, where the wounded were taken, but changed their target to a busy street because of tight security there. Iraq Isis also claimed responsibility for two blasts in Baghdad on Friday which killed a total of 26 people and wounded dozens. The suicide bomber struck a memorial service held for a militia fighter killed in battle against Isis in the Iraqi capital's southwestern suburb of Hay al-Amal, killing 21 and wounding 46. Another bomb detonated at a shrine in Sadr City, killing at five people and wounding 15.
