Majid allegedly leads the group that claimed responsibility for the bombings that targeted Iran's embassy in Lebanon.
A Saudi man who allegedly leads a group linked to al-Qaeda which operates throughout the Middle East has been arrested by military authorities in Lebanon, according to US national security sources.
Two US sources said that media reports from Lebanon that Lebanese Armed Forces had recently captured Majid bin Muhammad al-Majid, leader of the Abdullah Azzam Brigades were credible.
The sources did not offer further details on the circumstances in which he was captured.
Abdullah Azzam Brigades claimed responsibility for the November 19 twin suicide bombings that targeted the Iranian embassy in Beirut. The explosions killed at least 23 people and left more than hundred injured.
Lebanese media reported on Tuesday that Majid had been arrested two days ago.
