Lebanese Suicide Bomber's Goodbye Video Goes Viral
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
A video showing a young Lebanese man saying goodbye to his family and beloved ones before heading to Syria's Homs to carry out a suicide attack has gone viral online.
25-year-old Ahmed Diab, who is nicknamed as Abu Bakir al-Riyadi, carried out the suicide attack on Saturday.
Diab hails from the northern city of Tripoli.
According to media reports, Diab headed four times to Syria and engaged in battles against Syrian President Bashar Assad troops to leave again last week with the intention to carry out a suicide attack in Homs near an army checkpoint.
Lebanon is no stranger to violence. It suffered a brutal 15-year civil war that ended in 1990, and a string of political assassinations from 2005.
But after a period of relative calm, the country has seen a sharp uptick in violence linked to the conflict in neighboring Syria.

Just a note: he attacked a military target in Homs that suffered massive destruction, executions and starvation caused by regime troops. There is a world of difference between someone that attacks a military and a civilian target.

Habibe...I dont want to influence anyone. Let's everyone reveals its true color..if 1/4 of Lebanon are indeed extremists...unless they are pampered with money and all other benefits stealed from wider Lebanon..
They are so weak, so lost in their lives..bunch of poor lost saouls !!!
The only way forward is for them to go to Syria all (thanks it is happenning) OR PARTITION ONCE FOR ALL -
We are living with people who do not fear God...we have nothing in common
Raouw7a balla raj3a !!

This blinded by sectarian hate dude should know, he actually committed two sins at once. Suicide and murder, both punishable by hell.
Off he goes! (I mean to hell, not as in his bomb went off. Oh right, his bomb DID go off. Nevermind!)

maybe, but anything goes in the name of jihad and protecting Islam (which I have huge respect for btw, just trying to say many scholars would say he would be rewarded)

Yes ft, Hezb is creating such Sunni extremism. I am sure you agree that PLO practices in the South, victimizing the Shia, helped in creating HA which I consider to be an extreme Shia body(the two scenarios are comparable).

By the way hezboz who died in syria are considered to have died in "wejeb jihadi" ... But no hezbos are doing a secular jihad, the very progressist and secular islamic resistance...

Souther, you are always defending the Iranian and Assad occupying forces and you are in no position to call anyone a fool.

Extremism breeds extremism, the danger is in the followers of any ideology that considers anyone who does not share its beliefs as an enemy.
Regretfully, the khomeinies and the salafists have poisoned the minds of many youth and led them to die for nothing.

@anonymetexasusa,
According to your post and I quote,
"The voice of Sunni moderations has been exiled with them, leaving space to radicals like Assir in Sidon and Tripoli." Unquote
Let me get this straight. You are saying that all M14-Saudi people left in Lebanon are terrorists?

i think this clip is a hoax, the women in the background are too calm for people who knew that they would not see their relative ever again. And in if i happen to be wrong and this video is real and that they knew he was going to fight or blow himself up in Syria then the gov't has a responsibility to hold them accountable in line with the Baabda declaration

Brainwashed to the hilt. Disgusting. disturbing. uncivilized. Allah la ya3ti ahlo 3afieh. A young life cut short for the sake of ignorance. Why recruit these dummies in Lebanon? I doubt there is a shortage of idiots to do this dumb act in Syria.

Suicide bombers attacking legitimate military targets are martyrs. Those attacking civilians are criminals.
