Nasrallah Calls for Dealing with Ghiyyeh Assassination Similarly to Tripoli, Dahieh Bombings
Hizbullah chief Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah condemned on Tuesday the assassination of Islamic Action Front official Saadeddine Ghiyyeh in the northern city of Tripoli, calling for dealing with this case in the same manner the mosques' bombings issue was handled.
"We urge the state to deal with the assassination of Ghiyyeh similarly to its treatment of the Tripoli and (the Beirut neighborhood of) Dahieh's bombings,” Nasrallah said in a speech he gave on the ninth night of Ashura.
The Hizbullah leader considered the killing “an attack against the resistance and its supporters.”
He stated: “This is an indication of the Takfiris' targeting of those with whom they disagree.”
Nasrallah also questioned “some political factions' overlooking of this dangerous incident.”
"This assassination is a dangerous turn of events in Tripoli and could expand to other Lebanese regions,” he warned.
Pro-Syrian regime figure Ghiyyeh was killed on Tuesday after sustaining gunshots wounds to his head when masked men opened fire at him in al-Bahsa in Tripoli.
The state-run National News Agency reported that two men on a motorcycle shot Ghiyyeh, who was in his car, in the head.
