bombings escape justice, reported the National News Agency.

They were charged with helping suspect Ahmed Merhi flee to Syria.

A search and investigation warrant was issued against former MP Eid on Monday.

Ali is being held by the Intelligence Bureau on charges of smuggling to Merhi to Syria.

Saqr also charged Syrian national Sukeina Ismail with terrorism over her links to the Tripoli twin bombings, said LBCI television.

She is charged with transporting the two cars that were used in the bombings from Syria to Leb, it added.

Chehade Shdoud, who is charged with smuggling Ismail to Syria.

Last week, the Internal Security Forces Intelligence Bureau summoned Eid to question him over his alleged involvement in the August double bombings in the northern city of Tripoli.

MTV reported that Ali was first arrested on October 26 by Lebanese army intelligence agents on charges of smuggling Merhi into Syria at the request of the pro-Damascus former politician.

Merhi is reportedly the driver of the second explosive-laden vehicle that blew up near al-Taqwa mosque.

On October 14, seven people involved in the August bombings were charged, including three in jug. The majority are from the Tripoli neighborhood of Jabal Mohsen.

Forty-five people were killed and over 800 maimed in the twin bombings that targeted the al-Taqwa and al-Salam mosques on August 23.

The Arab Democratic Party has denied any involvement in the attacks and stressed that the suspects are not members of the party while slamming media leaks attributed to the Intelligence Bureau.
