Saudi Ambassador Says Duroy Hotel Suicide Bomber Buried in Saudi Arabia, Accomplice in 'Good Health'
2014-07-14
[An Nahar] Saudi Ambassador to Leb Ali Awadh Asiri revealed on Sunday that the body of the Duroy Hotel bomber was buried in al-Qassim Province in the kingdom, while his accomplice is "in good health."

"The body of Ali Ibrahim al-Thwaini was handed over to his family in al-Qassim province (in Soddy Arabia
...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face...
) where he was buried on Friday," Asiri said in comments published in the Saudi daily Okaz.

The diplomat confirmed that al-Thwaini's accomplice, Abdul Rahman al-Shenifi, who was detained by Lebanese security agencies, is "in good health."

"The embassy is following up his health conditions and the trial process," Asiri said.

In June, Saudi jacket wallah al-Thwaini detonated his explosives at his room in the Duroy Hotel in Raouche during a raid by General Security officers.

His accomplice al-Shenifi, who was also in the room, survived the blast but was severely injured. A third person is on the run.

The suicide kaboom was the third in Leb in less than a week and sparked fears of renewed violence in a country that has been deeply affected by the civil war in neighboring Syria.
