Tehran, Damascus Deplore Haret Hreik's 'Terrorist' Blast

إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية W460

Tehran and Damascus condemned on Tuesday the deadly explosion that targeted Beirut's southern neighborhood of Haret Hreik.

"We deplore the terrorist bombing that hit (Beirut's suburb of) Dahieh and that killed a number of innocent people and wounded many others,” a statement released by the Syrian council of ministers said.

The statement considered that “countries of the world must resist to such cowardly and terrorist activities that are hitting one country after another.”

"They must resist for stability's sake and to prevent the death of new victims.”

The Iranian foreign ministry also condemned the explosion, slamming it as “terrorist and inhumane.”

At least four people were killed on Tuesday in a suicide bombing that rocked Beirut's southern suburbs for the second time this month.

The Army Command announced that the explosion was caused by the detonation of three 120-millimeter and 130-millimeter shells that weighed around 15 kilograms.

It also revealed that a suicide bombed was involved in the attack.

“An explosives belt that did not blow up was also found on the scene, next to the human remains of the suicide bomber,” the army communique said.

A group calling itself al-Nusra Front in Lebanon, believed to be a franchise of the Syrian al-Qaida-linked group, claimed responsibility for the attack.

only one way to deal with nusra/isil and other takfiris: extermination now.

Thumb Mazen 21 January 2014, 20:18

Southern nmowaten, yes what a simple neat solution, gee whiz why didn't number one terrorist fighter and bonafide Donatien Alphonse François disciple president Bashar Assad implement it on them when they were right there stuck in his jails with nowhere to go, he opened the doors and let them out instead. Maybe extermination is something he used exclusively on his Lebanese prisoners.

lol samy, you think you're going to affect me with your dirt-level talk? the words you use define you more then they define me.

but what is worth noting in your comment, is how you felt offended by words targeting takfiris. yet you say you dont support them? you ARE them, with your sick ideas, hatred, and love of blowing up people.

Thumb _mowaten_ 21 January 2014, 20:32

lie.
in late 2011 ghosn got inflamed reactions from your friends, for warning that qaeda was taking root in lebanon. at that time there wasnt even HA members fighting in syria

apparently it is a shia who stole the car and send it to syria. does the smaha affair ring a bell?

Thumb _mowaten_ 22 January 2014, 11:16

what a filthy sectarian comment. how do you know he is shia? and do you know the religion of the person he sold it to? maher tleis i believe, and it is he who took it to syria.

Thumb _mowaten_ 22 January 2014, 11:16

also, please tell us, since you seem very knowledgeable about sects, what the religion of nusra is, since they claimed the attack.

FT prove it that bahia or hariri were funding islamists

Yeah short-memory mowaten I remember that one from Ghosn, was something out of Benny Hill. Dec 21, 2011 Ghosn claimed - "There is information that militants from al-Qaeda are entering Lebanon from Syria".. the Syrian foreign ministry goes nuts no fool we told you to say the opposite, they wanted to blame al-Qaeda entering Syria from Lebanon for two bombing on security service bases they were preparing in Damascus two days later on Dec 23, 2011. They had to BS their way out of this one by claiming that "the Lebanese government warned them that al-Qaeda was entering Syria from Lebanon" then they added yea.. that's the ticket.
Sleiman Frangieh even alluded to the cock up last year when he appeared on LBC's Kalam Ennas laughing it out with Marcel "Ghosn couldn't even get the one thing we told him to say right"

24 Syrian commentators thumbed you down for insulting the Syarian regime.

"FT prove it that bahia or hariri were funding islamists"

actually she admitted it herself, because there was no way she could paper trail of the payments. she said instead that it was for "charity".
yea right, milk and blankets -level excuses, they fund hatred and mass murder, and they claim they are doing charity. how low can one get?

Thumb _mowaten_ 22 January 2014, 11:07

missing word above: HIDE the paper trail

Put all al-Nosra and Hizbullah activists together and exterminate them all with no pity. Lebanon and Syria will be saved indeed

Thumb geha 21 January 2014, 19:19

those who kill by the sword shall die by the sword.

the more killing hizbushaitan will do in Syria, the more killing the shia regions will incur. this equation seems to be inevitable.

no one can stop suicide bombers, and definitely hizbushaitan is creating plenty of them through vengeance seeking people for their loved ones killed by hizbushaitan.

it is an obvious vicious circle....

Thumb cedre 21 January 2014, 20:14

u're wrong geha, bashar is behind those car bombs, isis is a puppet of the regime, it's getting more visible everyday in syria, highly infiltrated...

Thumb _mowaten_ 21 January 2014, 20:22

those who kill by the sword shall die by the sword > how does that apply to civilians, who are the prime target of these terrorist attacks?

ps: if you want to use famous quotes, at least use them properly, or people might think you're an ignorant thug. it's "live by the sword, die by the sword"

Thumb general_puppet 21 January 2014, 21:43

mowaten, every time Nasrallah & his partner Assad sent car bombs to assassinate Lebanese who opposed them many civilians were killed. And save your usual BS that it was the Israelis or some mysterious unknown entity. You and your Iranian militia are the ignorant thugs.

Thumb _mowaten_ 22 January 2014, 14:20

no, you save your bullshit that it was hezbollah. you have no proof, no basis for your accusations. you just want to pin it on them because you're a pro-israeli, pro-takfiri scumbag and the resistance is like a shard in your eye.

Thumb scorpyonn 22 January 2014, 02:03

You are right... Lebanon has no room for them or their Iranian masters. I think we should give them all Iranian citizenship and send them to Iran- Lebanon is too civilized for them and they are taking us back to the Middle Ages.

Would be it fair to say Haret Hreik is a HA controlled Lebanese region and Tripoli is a Salafist controlled Lebanese region? Just asking, food for thought.

Thumb shab 22 January 2014, 01:25

They took the wrong turn and blew up the wrong neighbourhood . maybe it was a dispute between two car dealers
