At least 43 people died Thursday when a pair of suicide bombings hit the Lebanese capital. More than 200 others were wounded.

Lebanon appears to be the latest nation victimized by ISIS' wrath following the militant group's claim of responsibility for the attack. Here are details about what's going on in Lebanon:

Who is to blame?

While the government has not named the attackers, the terror group ISIS is proudly thumping its chest.

A would-be suicide bomber who survived the attack told investigators he was an ISIS recruit. The Lebanese national said he and three other attackers arrived in Lebanon from Syria two days ago, according to a source.

Lebanese intelligence officials said the bombers could be part of a cell dispatched to Beirut by ISIS leadership, but investigators are working to verify the surviving suspect's claim.

ISIS is also purportedly circulating a statement on social media claiming responsibility for the blasts. CNN hasn't confirmed the authenticity of the statement.
