A leader of an Al Qaeda-linked group died in custody on Saturday in Lebanon, according to a Lebanese army general.
The general says the detainee, Majid al-Majid, died on Saturday after suffering kidney failure. The general spoke on condition of anonymity.
Al-Majid, a Saudi citizen was detained in Lebanon late last month and was held at a secret location.
He was the purported commander of the Abdullah Azzam Brigades and one of the 85 most-wanted individuals in his native Saudi Arabia.
Abdullah Azzam Brigades has conducted attacks across the Middle East.
In 2012, The US State Department designated the group a foreign terrorist organisation and froze its assets in the United States, prohibiting Americans from doing business with the group.
