Hizbullah on Brussels Blasts: Fire Raging in Europe Lit by Sides Fueling Syria War
Hizbullah condemned on Tuesday the bombings that shook the Belgian capital Brussels, saying they were committed by the “takfiri terrorist groups” that are not sparing anyone in the world.
It said in a statement: “The fire that is blazing in the world, Europe in particular, is the same one that was ignited by some powers against Syria and other countries in the region.”
“It is very unfortunate that all the world is aware of the source and funding of this terrorism and yet major powers are still providing support and protection to countries that are harboring terrorism,” it remarked.
“Terrorism needs to be confronted in a brave and serious fight, total regional and international cooperation, and a clear and transparent policy,” the party said.
“Remaining silent over this issue is a major sin and it will only lead to more death, killings, and destruction,” added Hizbullah.
The party expressed its “complete solidarity with innocent people in general, and Belgium and its people during their harsh plight.”
At least 34 people were killed in bombings that targeted Brussels' Zaventem Airport and the city's subway system.
The bloodshed comes days after the dramatic arrest in Brussels on Friday of Salah Abdeslam -- the prime suspect in the Paris terror attacks claimed by the Islamic State group -- after four months on the run.
European leaders reacted with shock and solidarity, urging cooperation in the fight against terrorism on a continent that has been on high alert for months.
