Saudi militant Al Qaeda leader responsible for Iranian embassy bombing dies in Lebanese jail ....


of kidney failure according to reports.  Too bad the Iranians didn't get to him sooner and he died of natural causes ... or did he?

Don't miss how Reuters points out that he was "wanted by authorities in his own country"  ....  Hahahahhaha!  Saudi Arabia arms and funds Al Qaeda to the teeth and now we are being told that an Al Qaeda member who does wet work on behalf of Saudis is "wanted by authorities"  in Saudi Arabia? Absolutely believable, right?!!   I guess the mega-bucks retainer Reuters has received from Saudi Arabia has not run out as yet.

From Reuters:
..... The suspected leader of an al Qaeda-linked militant group that claimed responsibility for bombing the Iranian embassy in Beirut two months ago died in custody on Saturday, security sources said.

Majid bin Muhammad al-Majid, a Saudi national who was wanted by authorities in his own country, had been suffering from kidney failure and went into a coma on Friday, the sources said. He died in a military hospital in Beirut, they added.
Majid was believed to be the leader of the Abdullah Azzam Brigades, which have claimed attacks across the region, most recently the double suicide assault on Iran's Beirut embassy, which killed at least 25 people.

His identity was confirmed by Lebanese officials on Friday after DNA tests.
In tweets at the time of the bombing, the Abdullah Azzam brigades threatened more attacks in Lebanon unless Iran pulled its forces out of Syria.........
