14 قتيلا و212 جريحا على الأقل في انفجار بين الرويس وبئر العبد بالضاحية الجنوبية

Apparently Reuters has said there are 9 dead.

Also, anyone know why it's only Al-Manar covering this an no local agencies? It's been the same clip playing over and over again.

Sow the wind, reap the whirlwind..... And it isn't over yet.

3 people disagree with you. I. Wouldn't be surprised if they are M8ers because it might be them attacking their own stronghold to justify another war against the free Syrians or the Israelis. The nazis had the same strategy.... They'd kill one of their own to manipulate the sheep.

m8 remember: not a single true Lebanese will weep for you.
what you did in murders, explosions, terrorist acts are now catching up with you. deal with it on your own.
the weapons of hizbushaitan are the reason such things are happening.

Consequences of taking a unilateral decision to become involved in the Syrian Sectarian Wars. To keep the logistical line open to resupply weapons to Hezbollah's arsenal, they have opened Beirut to reprisal bombings.

Thank you Nasrallah from bringing the dirty war in Syria home to Beirut!

Couldnt agree more with anonymetexas...u may not agree with hezz but this is an attack in beirut that has killed lebanese compatriotes. Yes what hezz is doing is wrong but nothing justifies the comments above glorifying this terrorist attack...lead by example people, your not better then them if your happy today

Sad. Very sad... when will all this useless savagery end?

And thus, the Iraq-ification of Lebanon has been completed. Thank you, Hezb, for throwing Lebanon into the Syrian crisis.

Thank you Farts 14 and Sanni First for bringing terrorism to our prairies. You really shine at such matters and more so your Saudi masters as they have been doing in Iraq and more recently in Egypt just to name a few. takbir

Nobody celebrates when cilivians are targetted. We don't kill Syrian kids, nor desecrate their bodies...

We value life....

Only a twisted mind like yours would think we'd ever become like you!

So then, can anyone tell me what people in Lebanon should be feeling about this?

I mean, security is known to be a problem but people generally live with it. To see (as proclaimed by many) the "most secure" of places being victim to terrorism, can anyone reassure the people that this won't spread elsewhere and that the security situation for Lebanese other than in HA strongholds isn't planned to be the same?

We've seen lots of bombs and such being apprehended by security forces in Arsal and other places, and I think people would agree there are more explosives in circulation than those that were captured; is this now a national security issue like we've seen in the bast or just 'warnings' to HA?

Despicable act of terrorism, targeting residential areas.

This is another very sad day for our country. God protect all the Lebanese.

No it doesn't. Why are you even cheerful that AlQaida, as you implied, has mad a trip over these here parts?

yea of course, the terrorists who cowardly assassinate innocent civilians are not to blame

Gabby14 im not arguing over the politics that lead to this dilemna our country is in...all im saying is we shouldnt be happy that people die, if some of them where happy when great M14 patriots where murdered then they are without conscience, we should be better and condemn this in all cases. From both sides of the aisle, the educated and moral people should condemn these kind of acts of terror because at the end, the normal citizen is just powerless and innocent, even if they support this party or the other. In a nutshell, maybe a little baby was present there, would u still be talking the same way. You have the right to say that they brought this on themselfs, but nobody has the right to be happy that civilians are dead, wether here or in syria.

your unsubstantiated accusations fail to hide the fact that you're justifying terrorism and implying that one should bend to terrorists.
this is not blowback, this is merely a continuation.

remember when those lowlifes fired rockets on hermel and attacked villages on the border? that resulted in the quseyr operation.
you think this one will go unpunished?

i wont repeat your words from your comments above, but i suggest you give the same warning to your takfiri goat lovers.

you're trying to sound smart, but it actually could very well be. wouldnt be the first time mossad commits terrorist acts to destabilize the country and stir strife.

Freedom is not cheap!

another in long line of bombings in this country. so sad. hassoun must realize that his words and actions have consequences and that his followers are going to pay the ultimate price.

How poetic!

Jumblat as always thinking of politics before everything else...to accuse Israel of this is just as stupid as saying that Israel killed Hariri...this was the work of salafists/AQ as revenge for Qusayr nothing more nothing less.

+1 from me, I appreciate the creativity.

Racist!

"Unlike when M14 or anti hassoune people die....." but of course because HA themselves are involved in some fashion or another....protecting/hiding the monsters among themselves.

FT you have a M8 cabinet majority of which is FPM since the beginning of the Syrian crisis...the real problem is HA don't want the LAF encroaching on their territory in B2aaaaaa3

FT no one is denying the wrongness of targeting civilians. And this is a terrorist attack.

However, the chance of these revenge bombings was a consideration that the HA rulers decided wasn't important enough before their wacky adventures in reef homs.

Two years of an FPM/HA government and we have counterfeit medicine scandals, isolation from all of our traditional allies, an economy in free fall, a dead tourism industry, nonstop kidnapping, and now bombings in our capital city. God bless the wise governance of FPM/HA....tfeh...failures and scum.

Good point ice-man. Wouldn't be surprised at all this was a gift (w/ much more to come) from the FSA. They warned that Persian monkey that if he sends more of his filth into Syria he will see the gates of hell. GO FSA!

Because Israel has no geo-political motive nor capability to strike this far into a Hezb stronghold...whereas there are 1 million Syrians running loose on our streets who hate SHN and HA guts...it is logic and common sense that makes me think this was an AQ-affiliated attack rather than 1980's era propaganda about Mossad...lol..

sorry for the bad language !

At the face of this tragedy everyone feels humble except few, like the hand who committed the crime and Nasrallah and his handlers who strive on tragedies to keep the flock of sheep in order.

eh habeel why don't you answer orangi boy. who controls the border it's either the government which is FPM dominated or the General Security which is HA dominated. I didn't know that Mustaqbal was in charge of border security. The Hariri Martyr brigades, lol.

Hezbollah had it coming for sure, but still lives lost is never anything to Cheer about. And now it will possibly escalate into tit-for-tat-bombings.

"looking for a French embassy"

that made me laugh pretty hard.

motive: push for a shia/sunni confrontation (if that's not the best imaginable scenario for israel i dont know what is)
ability: seriously??? i dont believe you are so naive as to think israel cannot send a booby trapped car in dahiye

The killing of innocent people is never defendable but can be understand due to the way that Hezb and their leaders act under the orders of the Iranian extremists and their money and arms providers.
Calling it 'resistance' is the biggest lie in history - for me it is pure terrorism

les auteurs ne peuvent justifier cet acte tout comme le Hezb ne peut justifier son agissement dans le passé et dans le présent;
il est grand temps que ce parti soit exterminé et interdit à tout jamais pour enfin retrouver un Liban où il fait bien de vivre en paix et en tranquilité.

the_roar, some might dispute israpundit quoting Al-Manar as biased.

As a substitute, here's http://www.salem-news.com/articles/april092011/lamb-wikileaks-wj.php which provides Wikileaks excerpts dealing with treason in the Lebanese political circle.

I weep for any Lebanese civilian who is slaughtered in this way. What did the average Lebanese citizen living in Dahyeh ever do to deserve to be butchered in this way? C'mon people act like human beings. We are not animals, real people and real blood of innocent civilians has been shed and that is unacceptable no matter the reason. Politicizing and justifying is even worse.

There is no excuse for killing innocent civilians. None. It doesn't matter if you agree or disagree with HA. Civilians were savagely killed. There is zero excuse for this, and any attempt to explain away this butchery is immoral.

Glad to be of service. Lebanese politics is indeed treacherous waters to tread.

Glad to shine some light on the extent of duplicitousness in Lebanese politics.

people-power, yes indeed, Lamb is a bleeding heart liberal who vehemently opposes Israel's doing to Palestinians and as such, biased. (that is why, for example, there is no mention of HA cables being discussed, and the discussion is centered around those who oppose HA).

That is exactly why I said to pay attention to the wikileaks excerpts which one can download(as a torrent, I think, can it still be downloaded?) instead of considering Lamb's interpretations.

You may verify the cables at your own volition.

BREAKING NEWS - BREAKING NEWS - BREAKING NEWS
One of those killed is the former PM Rafic Hariri Part II. This means that the STL farce is going to get involved and uncover all those who funded, plotted and executed this crime. Decent people, REJOICE. Thank God that Rafic Hariri Part II was among the dead!

Endless: Franklin Lamb is a pro-Assad, HA-fanboy. He is also known to be an associate of Samaha.

And before FT ejaculates over my web site sources, it was just from a simple google search, I don't endorse any pro-Zionist website.

Another sad day for Lebanon. RIP to all the innocent lives that were lost. I hope us Lebanese one day can set our differences aside and work on building a strong state for all our children to live in peacefully.

It's probably Aboul Adass who resurrected and did it !

Wat a way if celebrating the Holy Virgin's day...

This attack is sick.

What's going on in the ME is haterate and retaliation as a result. They should have figured out by now that this road is the road to suicide. Forgiveness is the road to live. O, people the Bible is so clear on this. Why can't they understand? I know it's hard but this philosophy of hating your enemy and retaliating him, leads to what? Only more dead people. Forgiveness and love is what breathes life.

The ME needs the philosophy of Jesus Christ!

Christian Areas will be next to provoke war.

to think that in this day and age, people still resort to this kind of violence, and expect change to take place, is baffling. This is our problem, we are not united as a people. We are sheep. We don't think for ourselves and we don't come to our own conclusions. Each and every one of us is on edge, we are stressed, full of angst, and hate for one another. In the year 2013, aren't we tired of this? Don't we want peace? Don't we want a stable functional country, with a government that actually cares about the well-being of their people, their supporters, and their country? If this segregation continues, and we don't open our eyes and unite as one country, and not as 4 religions, and counting... nothing will ever change. In the year 2013, corruption is the only driving power that truly unites, and defines Lebanon. It is shameful. You can all attack me now...

While we are at it, what does H.A. know about running the business of a country, its civil institutions, economy, commerce, etc.? You're telling me that they are learning from the Persians, or brought their experiences from their dealings in South African Countries? I like to see how far Iran can advance minus all the money they generate from selling their nature resources. So, these are your idols?

Cui bono "to whose benefit?", literally "as a benefit to whom?" is a Latin saying which is still used.

It is a Latin adage that is used either to suggest a hidden motive or to indicate that the party responsible for something may not be who it appears at first to be.

What goes around comes around. You don't help a state massacre tens of thousands of people without some payback. Judgement Day is coming!

l'arroseur arrosé !!

nouveauté: habituellement les explosions ont lieu dans les quartiers chrétiens

In all these comments, not one person said RIP to those who died! All you care about is who to blame.
I wish I could see Lebanon united against such cruelty, but no all I see is hatered.
Until the Lebanese and decide they are more important than their leaders, these people had died in vein. RIP.

My heart is bleeding for all the innocent people that are dying unnecessarily. This also reminds me of the war in Lebanon where many innocent people died while going to work or walking on the streets. HA should have known that its involvement in Syria will not be kept without retaliation from the Syrian free army or the Sunnis that support them in Lebanon. HA should understand that he's immediately called upon to stop involving itself in the war in Syria and killing the innocent Syrian people. This is a vicious cycle where only the innocent people pay its price. I hope this madness stops one day and we all go back to our senses and work hard to rebuild our economy instead of going on in supporting an endless war that has no beginning and no end. If this is not possible, maybe Lebanon could be partitioned and every party takes a part and start norishing it.

again, you type, but you don't make any sense since the propaganda is strong within you. ramble on dude....

It was a dispute between two car delars, or a faullty gas canister.

So much hatred. So much intolerance. Aib ya jama3a. If you have an opinion then it's great but please respect the opinion of others as you may not always be right

It's not a dialect accent, it's arabic fis7a ie standard arabic used formally such as by journalists, clerics, politicians, people making comments on tv and so on.

terrorists killed by terrorists. Seems like a good day to me.

and the magic just turned on the wizard hassouna abo dwaleeb

Anything that happens in Lebanon is blamed in Israel (with or without proof, usually without), but I thought Huzb Allah was supposed to be defending Lebanon from Israel?

R:I:P to the people who lost their lives and to the wounded I pray a speed recovery.

May God bring all Lebanese together and peace be upon all of us in Lebanon for we are all
LEBANESE:

Later on Thursday, a group calling itself the Brigades of Aisha Umm al-Moemeneen claimed the bombing in a YouTube video and threatened further attacks.............
Retarded and bajam. Violence is not the answer to any political disputes. What goes around comes around. We want radicals and militants from all sect to go away and save the innocent civilians from all sects. RIP to the victims of this atrocity.

Hizbullah has learned a lesson, it is nowhere safe even in beirut.
Mr Nasrallah will be forced to dig a little deeper because the Shia Sunni animosity is much more corrosive than his resentment towards the enemy on the southern border.

The rockets were missing their targets, so they sent you a package in a car as they promised on public TV when the Syrians were attacked and you were dancing in the streets of Qusayr. You were told to disassociate but as in 2006 you acted above the state or I should say forgot the People-Army-Resistance equation and acted based on the Iran-Syria-Resistance equation.

Well let me tell you- if this so called resistance stayed out of Syria none of this would happen.

did you not blame the 9/11 attack on US intervention in Irak? So now you should blame theis attack on HA intervention in Syria.

Mazeltov

You forget another small detail: of the thousands killed in Qusayr, the vast majority were civilians too. Hypocrite much?
