Hizbullah Offers Condolences over Sfeir in Bkirki

A Hizbullah delegation led by political council chief Sayyed Ibrahim Amin al-Sayyed on Monday offered condolences in Bkirki over the death of former Maronite patriarch Nasrallah Sfeir.

"We came to express our condolences and to be part of the grief that is engulfing Lebanon," al-Sayyed said.

"Lebanon misses figures such as patriarch Sfeir," he added, noting that Hizbullah might take part in Sfeir's farewell on Thursday.

Sfeir died on Sunday days before turning 99.

Wednesday and Thursday have been declared national mourning days and his body will be laid to rest on Thursday.
