IS Claims Bourj Barajneh Bombing, Identifies its Attackers

إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية W460

The Islamic State group claimed responsibility on Friday for the Bourj al-Barajneh bombing, saying that three suicide bombers were behind the attack, reported Voice of Lebanon radio (100.5).

It identified them as Syrian Khaled al-Khaled and Palestinians Hamed al-Balegh and Ammar Salem al-Rayyes.

General Prosecutor Judge Samir Hammoud and State Commissioner to the Military Court Judge Saqr Saqr later confirmed that the attack was carried out by two suicide bombers, but added that the possibility of a third attacker is still being investigated.

Conflicting media reports had emerged on the number of bombers behind Thursday's blast in Beirut's southern suburbs of Bourj al-Barajneh, a Hizbullah stronghold.

Some claimed that three bombers were at the scene, two of whom succeeded in detonating their explosives vests, while the third failed and was killed by Hizbullah members at the scene, reported al-Joumhouria newspaper on Friday.

Other reports said that there were only two bombers.

Al-Joumhouria added that a fourth attacker was present, but he fled the area.

Hamas deputy chief Ahmed Abdul Hadi denied later on Friday the involvement of Palestinians in the Bourj al-Barajneh attack.

He said that the alleged names of the suicide bombers are of Palestinians killed in Syria, reported Voice of Lebanon radio (100.5).

Twin suicide bombings rocked a busy shopping street Thursday in Bourj al-Barajneh, killing 43 people and wounding 239 others, in the worst such attack in years.

Al-Joumhouria newspaper on Friday however said that the third attacker was discovered still alive at the scene and that he was killed by Hizbullah members.

Will they bring these Hizbollah members to justice?......pffft!

@mowaten E-X-C-E-L-L-E-N-T. Still laughing since the day you declared with a straight face you were a shiaa atheist and also a member of hezbollah with only one account. I think i will also continue to laugh at your statement "the only thing they deserve is to be hunted down to the doorstep of hell, and it's what they're going to get.". Thank you Thank you

OMG OMG !!!!!! Even on an article as insignificant and irrelevant as this I find you mowaten spamming, trolling, and terrorizing other posters. What kind of person are you? New evidence surfaces by the minute that you are a paid poster but the question remains who pays you and for what exact purpose? Is it the Iranian embassy, is it the revolutionary guard, is it the syrian intelligence or the ex-KGB? These questions must be answered by you and NOW!

Whatever anonyme. Your claims are in no way related to reality, and I've given up on trying to make you see reason and facts, so say whatever you want, who cares?

You should complain to your Sayyed and tell him to stop his pro-Palestinian propaganda the next time he talks on Quds Day

You're the one who said the Palestinian camps need to be cleaned. Need to be cleaned how? Just eradicating terrorists? Lol but we're not allowed to enter the camps, remember??

Thumb nickjames 13 November 2015, 10:04

While everyone should condemn this attack, we should also consider why this happened... Four years fighting in Syria, and only bombs in their neighbourhood to show for it. Pull out of Syria, focus on internal security

The only cleaning needed is of hizbollaat to stop bringing disasters to Lebanon as a result of their following of decisions made by vilayet-e-faqih.

I remember when something calling itself the Free Sunni Brigade of Baalbek was claiming responsibility for suicide bombings on civilian and Lebanese army targets and threatening the Christians. Oddly enought no other group came out to refute the claims or take responsibility for these suicide attacks, a quick Google search confirms this. Turns out the Free Sunni Brigade of Baalbek was in reality a Hezballah/Assad false flag designed to saw sectarian fear against the Sunni population and help m8 yellow editorialists with their rhetoric and their narrative.

What's the matter with these takfiris why aren't they been reasonable, I mean Sayyed Hassin and Geberal Aoun kept explaining how Hezballah went to Syria so the takfiris don't come here and I believe them.. but the takfiris keep coming here, why? Maybe I'm way off but I think those takfiris are not nice people and don't listen, all they want is make Sayed Hassin and Geberal Aoun look foolish. But as a Qawmi like comrade Bigjohn I know that Lebanon is a mirage created by the imperialist West and all it's territory is Syria, so takfiris the joke is on you, Sayyed Hassin and Geberal Aoun don't lie and are not fools Lebanon IS Syria, ;)

Although I disagree with M8 policies and Hizb involvement in Syria,but I hope that Syrian and the two Palestinians rot in HELL. RIP for all who perished in this cowardly act.
