Qaida Accuses Hizbullah of Tripoli Blasts
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
Al-Qaida in the Islamic Maghreb (AQIM) accused on Saturday Hizbullah of the two bombing that rocked the northern city of Tripoli a day before.
“Hizbullah with certainty” is responsible for the attack that killed 35 people in Tripoli, AQIM said in a tweet.
According to the SITE monitoring service, AQIM said “that vile party ... should know that it will meet retribution soon.”
"We know with certainty that behind this deplorable act committed against are the hands of the vile, rafidah Hizbullah, which stands side by side with (President) Bashar Assad in Syria," the AQIM tweets said, as quoted by SITE.
On Friday, powerful car bombs exploded outside two Sunni mosques in Tripoli, killing at least 45 people and wounding hundreds.
The first bomb struck in the city center at the al-Salam mosque as worshipers were still inside.
The second explosion struck just minutes later outside al-Taqwa mosque, about two kilometers away, near the port.
Hizbullah, a staunch backer of Assad's regime.
Lebanon is officially neutral in Syria's conflict, but the country is deeply divided.
In a broadcast speech he gave at a ceremony marking the end of the July 2006 war, Hizbullah chief Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah explained that his combat in Syria is against Takfiris, vowing that he is “ready to personally go fight in Syria if necessary.”

It has been a new strategy of Al-Qaida to familiarize themselves to the population not as ruthless proselytizers, but rather, humble and caring individuals only out for the good of the common folk. Like they were distributing teletubbies toys and carrying out choirs and dances in certain Syrian villages to appease the population. They have learned from Iraq, they cannot sustain themselves without the approval of the people.
They're just frustrated HA's fighting with Al-Assad, and have possibly started the appeasement process before they overrun the country in the foreseeable future.

Al Qaïda or Israel never deny their terrorist or military operations....
Qaida enjoys uploading silly videos to YouTube. Israel is straight in its shoes.
It's either Assad with his Michel Samaha Aoun #2 or Hezbollah itself..

"Qaida enjoys uploading silly videos to YouTube"
lol true. I like the songs they sometimes put when recording their training operations, quite soothing sometimes, and catchy, too.

benzona, they often take credit for things they did not do, therefor it can be reasoned they being unscrupulous and having newly realized the strategy of appeasement and 'panem et circenses', this isn't really surprising.

its syria benzona, same for dahieh or rockets on Israel.
Even if assad and HA are on the same side in Syria, they have diverging interests in Lebanon. Assad would like israeli attacks on lebanon or civil war in lebanon between sunni-shia so he can use his CW on sleeping kids and women. HA knows he's too small to stretch between lebanon and syria.

Of course, Bachar may decide to play with the country without consulting HA. They're a mere tool for him. They wouldn't exist today if it wasn't for him, basically he owns them.
So, HA is automatically guilty by association....

I think that is a dangerous accusation Benz. I heard a sheik in tripoli basically saying the same thing. Is that incitement or justification for a Christian area to be targeted?

You gotta remember that Al-Qaida is a very lose organisation, and there are probably very many different cells with different modes of operations. On the other hand, I don't see how Hezbollah thinks starting a war at its backs is gonna help it when they're busy crusading in Syria.

Mr. phoenix, I think the time has come when, all of us should advocate the youth of Lebanon to rise up, taking to the streets and throw out all the Warlord, mafia kings, and start fresh.
Lebanon is too good of a place to disintegrate infront of our eyes
