(ISIL) has grabbed credit for the Duroy Hotel suicide kaboom in Beirut.

The group calling itself the state of Damascus-Qalamoun said via twitter on Thursday that two ISIL members targeted General Security agents at the hotel in Raouche.

It also vowed to carry out more attacks against Hizbullah
...Party of God, a Leb militia inspired, founded, funded and directed by Iran. Hizbullah refers to itself as The Resistance and purports to defend Leb against Israel, with whom it has started and lost one disastrous war to date, though it did claim victory...
and its agents, saying Wednesday's bombing was just the start.

The Saudi jacket wallah went kaboom! at the hotel when he detonated his explosives during a security raid. His accomplice, also a Saudi citizen, survived the blast and is being questioned at hospital.

The General Security agency on Thursday circulated the picture of a Lebanese man, al-Monzer Khaldoun al-Hasan, accused of providing the Duroy Hotel bombers with explosives.

Media reports have said they were plotting to target al-Saha Restaurant in Beirut's southern suburbs.

Wednesday's attack was the third suicide kaboom in Leb in less than a week.

Syria's civil war has spilled into Leb on numerous occasions and inflamed sectarian tensions. A series of boom-mobiles have struck Shiite areas across Leb, killing dozens of people.

Sunni faceless myrmidons have grabbed credit for the attacks to avenge Hizbullah, which has sent its fighters to Syria to help Hereditary President-for-Life Bashir Pencilneck al-Assad
