A photo posted by the National News Agency after the arrest revealed
that Mr. Al Assir had recently adopted a new look, shaving his long,
unkempt beard and trading his usual religious robes and headwear for a
more inconspicuous jacket and sweater. Some local news outlets
suggested Mr Assir had also had plastic surgery to alter his
appearance.
Mr Al Assir became one of the most wanted men in Lebanon after his
militia went to battle with the Lebanese army in the port city of
Sidon in 2013, resulting in the deaths of 18 soldiers and dozens of Mr
Al Assir's gunmen.
