Islamic Jihad blame Israeli intelligence for car bomb
His brother was also killed in the explosion, which the group blamed on Israeli intelligence, and it vowed to retaliate. Mahmoud Majzoub, a member of the group’s policy-making Shura Council body and its leader in Sidon, 24 miles south of Beirut, was walking with his brother, Nidal, near the central square of this coastal city when a parked car was detonated by remote control, security officials said.
Mahmoud Majzoub survived the blast but died during surgery, while Nidal Majzoub was killed instantly, said the security officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorised to release the information.
