Ahmadinejad Condemns al-Hasan Murder, Hopes 'Understanding' Will Prevail among All Lebanese
President Michel Suleiman on Tuesday received a phone call from his Iranian counterpart Mahmoud Ahmadinejad who offered him condolences on the assassination of Intelligence Bureau chief Maj. Gen. Wissam al-Hasan and the rest of the victims.
As the Iranian president reiterated his condemnation of the crime, he extended Eid al-Adha greetings, hoping Lebanon will enjoy stability and prosperity, Lebanon's National News Agency said.
He also hoped “understanding and serenity will prevail among all the Lebanese for the sake of their country and its independence and sovereignty.”
Al-Hasan was assassinated in a massive car bombing in Ashrafiyeh on October 19. Two other people were killed and more than 100 wounded, as the blast gutted two apartment buildings.
The opposition March 14 forces have blamed Iran's ally Syria for the attack and demanded the resignation of the Hizbullah-led government.
