Report: March 14 Says Hizbullah to Further Involve Lebanon in Syria Conflict
The March 14 coalition considered on Sunday that Hizbullah Secretary-General Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah is not willing to alter it's policies and ready to further involve Lebanon in the turmoil in the neighboring country Syria.
“We should expect the worst,” a leader in the March 14 alliance said in comment published in the Kuwaiti al-Anbaa newspaper.
Nasrallah said on Friday he himself was ready to go and fight in Syria.
The prominent leader in the March 14 camp told the newspaper that Hizbullah failed to abide by the so-called army-people-resistance equation, which Nasrallah vowed to hold on to.
The sources said that the “bloody message” conveyed by the attack that targeted Beirut's southern suburbs neighborhood of Ruwais on Thursday indicates that the Takfiris are setting the "rules of the game" by dragging Lebanon into the conflict in Syria.
Nasrallah had accused radical Sunni takfiri Muslims of being responsible for the car bombing.
The death toll from a car bombing that ripped through Ruwais has risen to at least 27 and wounded 336 others.
A group calling itself the Brigades of Aisha Umm al-Moemeneen claimed in an online video the attack.
Hizbullah is a key supporter of President Bashar Assad and has sent fighters across the border to Syria this year to bolster government forces, which have been battling a deadly anti-regime revolt since March 2011.
Lebanon is deeply divided into supporters and opponents of the regime in neighboring Syria and the conflict now in its third year has stoked sectarian tensions and violence in the country.
