Hizbullah Taking Extraordinary Security Measures during Ashura and Nasrallah Urges Supporters' Cooperation
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
Hizbullah will begin on Monday holding daily mourning councils on the occasion of Ashura, reported al-Joumhouria newspaper.
It said that the party has taken extraordinary security measures at the councils given information it obtained that they could be the target of attacks.
The Army Command also announced that its units have started taking similar measures at various mourning councils throughout Lebanon.
The security measures also encompass places of worship, tourist sites, and shopping malls and they include the setting up of mobile and stationary checkpoints.
Hizbullah chief Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah called on his supporters on Monday evening to cooperate with the measures adopted by the army.
"I urge you to cooperate and bear with these measures as their implementation insures marking these days without any mistakes, losses or obstacles," he said in a televised speech he gave on the first day of Ashura.
At least 22 people were killed and 325 wounded in a car bombing in Hizbullah's stronghold of Dahieh in Beirut's southern suburbs on August 15.
In September, Nasrallah blamed Sunni takfiris linked to the Syrian opposition for the August 15 attack.
On July 9, a booby-trapped car exploded at a parking lot in Bir al-Abed, leaving 53 people wounded and causing extensive material damage.
In May, two rockets slammed into the Beirut southern suburb of Shiyyah, wounding four people.

Beloved Sayyed Al Moqawameh..... the news of your appearance on TV brings joy and happiness to my and Alona's heart as well to millions of adoring followers across the globe. From Washington to Nigeria, the faithful will be glued to their TV sets awaiting that blessed moment when you appear. Oh beloved Sayyed.. if you only knew how much we long to see your adorable face and your waving finger that hypnotizes millions of us. This year Ashura carries an extra special meaning as the Islamic Secular Resistance moves from one victory to another. The negotiators you sent to Syria are proving that ONLY dialogue is the key to the Syrian crisis. The massacres that our holy warriors are commiting throughout Syria are testimony to the sacrifices that embody the meaning of our resistance. In our household, the festivities have already started to reenact the martyrdom of Husain ibn Ali (Bless Him) and 72 of his followers at the battle of Karbala. Karbalaaaaaaaaaa Mazlooooooooom

But I thought Ashoura is the sacrifice of life for the Hussein, why take the extraordinary measures. A car bomb is much less painful than hitting your scalps with knives and clubbing your chests with chains (at least you might spare the babies).

CARNIVAL again !!!!
Al-Hussein ibn Ali ibn Abi Talib doesn't have anything to do with these majoussi masochists. He or anybody of his friends/family never mourned anybody, even Ali that some shias deify, in such indecent and unislamic way. I don't know where they learned this joke...
