An al-Qaeda-affiliated organization has claimed responsibility for Tuesday morning’s bombings at the Iranian Embassy in Beirut.

Lebanese Sunni Sheikh Sirajeddine Zuraiqat, who is affiliated with the radical Sunni global jihad organizations in Lebanon, tweeted on a Twitter account attributed to him that “the Abdullah Azzam Brigades – the Hussein bin Ali cells – are behind the attack on the Iranian embassy in Beirut.”

According to Zuraiqat, the suicide bombing was carried out by “two heroes from the Sunni faction in Lebanon.”

At least 23 people were killed and 146 were injured in two strong bombings which rocked the area near the Iranian Embassy in Beirut. The embassy’s cultural attaché, Ibrahim Ansari, was among the dead.

The official Lebanese news agency reported that according to an initial investigation, the first blast was caused by a suicide bomber and the second one was triggered by a terrorist driving a car bomb. According to estimates, the explosive devices weighed more than 100 kilograms (220 pounds).

According to the Hezbollah-affiliated al-Manar network, the two explosions were 90 seconds apart. The embassy building sustained heavy damage, according to the reports, and at least 10 vehicles caught fire.
