Reports in Beirut from local and Western media reveal that al-Qaeda has begun to establish structural roots for its  organization in Lebanon, following instructions from Ayman al-Zawahri. The reports name Majid al-Majid as the  organization’s new emir in the Levant and reiterate that the group has  established a road map that includes terrorist operations against political  figures, religious institutions and United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) forces.
