Second train bomb suspect held

BERLIN, Germany (CNN) -- The German federal prosecutor's office in Berlin said a second suspect in last month's failed attempt to bomb two trains has turned himself in.

A 19-year-old Lebanese man, identified as Jihad Hamad, surrendered to authorities in Tripoli, Lebanon Thursday morning, a day after an arrest warrant was issued. Another suspect was arrested in Germany over the weekend.

Lebanon's Interior Ministry said Hamad turned himself in after authorities launched raids in his home village near Tripoli in recent days.

The bombs were packed into identical black suitcases -- each containing a gas canister, alarm clock, wires, batteries and soft drink bottles filled with flammable liquid.

The suitcases containing the bombs were found on trains in Dortmund and Koblenz on July 31.
