Prosecutor orders Dahr al-Baydar explosives file sent to military judiciary
Published · Updated
What happened
Prosecutor General Ahmad Rami al-Hajj ordered the Dahr al-Baydar explosives investigation closed at the investigative-branch level and transferred to the military judiciary. Investigating Judge Ghada Abu Alwan scheduled a Thursday interrogation session for named suspects after the transfer order.
Why it matters
The case has moved into a venue with broader security and detention implications and a nearer procedural timetable. That creates a defined window for summonses, interrogations, and possible challenges over jurisdiction, custody, and evidentiary handling.
On November 3, Prosecutor General Ahmad Rami al-Hajj ordered the investigative branch to close its inquiry into the Dahr al-Baydar explosives case and transfer the file to the military judiciary. Investigating Judge Ghada Abu Alwan then set a Thursday interrogation session for named suspects. The move shifts the case from political controversy into a formal judicial track centered on unauthorized explosives networks and the state's enforcement authority.
