Abdullah Azzam Brigades Says Project Targeting Iran, Hizbullah to Continue
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
Abdullah Azzam Brigades accused Hizbullah on Tuesday of removing the respirator of Majed al-Majed, who died in Lebanon recently, stressing that its project against Iran and the party will go on.
“The Sheikh (al-Majed) was in a come when he was detained and his condition deteriorated... prompting Hizbullah to remove his respirator,” a statement issued by the group that is loyal to al-Qaida said via twitter.
The statement pointed out that al-Majed's illness forced him to resort to a high medical care since December 4, 2012.
“When al-Majed was submitted into hospitals he was in a coma... The Iranian party couldn't reach him until he was detained in December 27, 2013 after reports about his illness emerged,” the brigades pointed out.
The statement noted that alleged reports that Hizbullah questioned al-Majed is “mere fabrications and an attempt to achieve moral victory on his account.”
It criticized "attacks against Sunnis orchestrated by Iran's party, which controls Lebanon's military intelligence and manipulates it at will."
It also said Iran "manipulates all Lebanese state institutions to protect both its interests and those of its Baathist ally in Syria," a reference to President Bashar Assad.
The brigades considered that al-Majed left behind him capable men, who could lead after him.
“His project will continue to target Iran and its party (Hizbullah) and the Jewish aggressors to defend Sunnis and those who are oppressed.”
Brigades member Sirajeddin Zreikat had already threatened more attacks in Lebanon until Hezbollah ends its intervention.
Al-Majed, a Saudi national, died in Lebanon earlier this month while undergoing treatment at the Central Military Hospital after his health deteriorated, the army said in a communique.
He is accused of being behind the suicide bombing that targeted the Iranian embassy in Beirut on November 19, 2013, and he was detained in December of the same year and had been held at a secret location.
He was also wanted by Saudi Arabia on terrorism charges.
The Lebanese army said in a communique that al-Majed was detained on December 26, 2013, noting that DNA testing confirmed his identity.
The group was formed in 2009 and is believed to have branches in both the Arabian Peninsula and Lebanon.
The Lebanese unit is named after Ziad al-Jarrah, a Lebanese who took part in the September 11, 2001 attacks on the United States.
It is named for the Palestinian mentor of the late al-Qaida chief Osama bin Laden. He was killed in a 1989 bomb blast.
According to Islamist sites, Majed was revealed to be the leader of the Brigades in 2012.
In 2009, Lebanon sentenced Majed in absentia to life in prison for belonging to a different extremist group, the al-Qaida-inspired Fatah al-Islam.

funny how my comment got censored...
i was saying it goes without saying that anything those bums say is laughing material. HA would have kept him alive if only to make him confess and give out his master's name.
as for the threats of the brainless monkeys, it's no surprise, as long as they're alive they're a threat to all normal people. the only solution is to eradicate them all.

and lol primesuspect, if the US had known that would be the result they would have certainly abstained and saved themselves a few thousand dead and maimed and thousands of billions of dollars. their pathetic failure in iraq is in no way an indication of them serving iranian interests.

Just to look at this terrorist's face confirms where we now are as Lebanon. Instead of having been an impartial country, keeping away from the conflicts that surround us, we got right into them. Instead of today being a happy, prosperous country, enjoying a glorious Winter, shopping festival, bumper tourist seasons, a vibrant economy, look ye all where we've reached. The country is plunged from one bomb blast to the other, from one city fighting suffering factional fighting, a country filled to the brim with refugees, well beyond our capacity, our Palestinian guests welcome any terrorist they want, speaking as if they were a nation, poor Lebanon, dying a slow and agonizing death. Most people these days prefer staying home, because the country now feels truly bleak.

Palestinians & their camps are no longer our guests in our country , they Must leave , if need be by force .
Signed Wolf .

One wonders, wolf, how did the Palestinian camps become such hotbeds for terrorism, containing all sorts of nationalities of Arab and Muslim, considering the only passable border into Lebanon was through Ba'ath Syria which supposedly hates Al Qaeda and its affiliates?
It's a rhetorical question, you don't need to answer.

You can also be damn sure that the Palestinians are going nowhere until HA disarms.

We the sunnis did not elect you to serve and protect us, nor do we want you and your kind in our country... go terrorize someplace else.
We wanna live in peace with all the different religions in our country and look towards a prosperous future

Doc, very well said, this has never been in any doubt, all we want as Lebanese, is to live side by side as one people, in one country, one destiny, one goal. God is great.

Their ideology is of the Iraqi Fallujah Sunnis...the goal of the Ba'ath and Iran is to paint all Sunnis with this brush, they pull the strings, it all benefits their propaganda...

proudm14: if you dont want to be painted with that brush, start by denouncing those takfiris and assimilated scum. oppose them or be seen as endorsing them.

Very well said Roar. Even with representation of HA, the shia in Lebanon are still very modest in who they are as a community and in what they seek. Nothing more than fair represntation and above all security for the land they inhabit.

somehow that translates into assassinating Christian and Sunni politicians...

proudm14, sure if you really believe that, good for you. Nothing I can say will change your mind so no point in debating you. Go on and accuse HA of assassinating Christian and Sunni politicians. You are entitled to your views. I know you are wrong but hey in your mind the shia are Persians right.

In Yasser Arafat's days, Lebanon was forced to look and feel like a giant Bedouin camp, travel anywhere out of Lebanon and people will brand you a terrorist. Most Lebanese just want to get on with life, in a Lebanon vibrant with different cultures. Lebanon that has probably the best weather and nature in the region could have looked like the best postcard anywhere. Lebanon could have been a lot nicer than Switzerland, peaceful, prosperous, progressive, vibrant and its citizens needed not leave for better shores. Wake up dear Lebanese, today in 2014, our country still looks a lot like any Yemeni city or town, with drabness surrounding us almost everywhere. Very sad, because one country in this country could have looked and felt different to that Bedouin feel.

Phoenix, why the need to slander Yemeni cities and towns. Their villages and cities may not be modern in the sense of westernization with sky scrapers and such, but they have their culture and history and many of their villages hidden along mountain sides make for beautiful pictures and their people are some of the most hospitable and friendly people in the arab world. Sometimes life is more than the GDP or how many tourist you get or how bright the night life is.

I remember a time in Lebanon when everyone treated you as a neighbour, when everyone said hi to you and invited you for tea or what have. Cant say that still exist anymore, and I don't blame politics for that.

Well City bro, I am sorry if it looked like slandering, certainly the intention wasn't. If I was making the comparison that's because we are Lebanese, and exactly as you stated, we used to greet each other etc...What I was alluding to though was this: that I as a Lebanese person, don't want my country to start looking like the replica of any other country, just the Lebanon we've always known, a Lebanon in all its beauty that will make Switzerland look dull in comparison. Sorry brother, right now, it seems everyone wants our Lebanon to look like Afghanistan, again like Yemen or any other Bedouin country, and yes, I want my tourists back, to come and enjoy the real Lebanon, not the Lebanon of any other country, but the Lebanon of the Lebanese, the real Lebanese.

Phoenix1. Of course I agree with your wishes but I differ in you belief that everyone wants Lebanon to look like Afghanistan. I don't think people in Afghanistan wanted their country to look the way it is now either. Things have happened in Lebanon, things have changed, we have to live with it. We cant just snap our fingers and Lebanon will be like it was some 40 plus years ago. This doesn't mean that there is no hope in Lebanon, but please bro, try to worry less about Lebanon's perception to the rest of the world because in the end they don't care about us. And just because Nasrallah picture may not be the sort of tourist draw you want, it doesn't mean we cant take on new adventures in this country such as industrialization, oil and gas, you name it.

Ever got stopped at a Syrian checkpoint in Lebanon? What language do they speak? Ya hear ya hay away and xyz?
It took 30 yrs for one camp to disarm and another 30 yrs for the other camp to learn what their arms have cause and brought to the entire state

Lebanese M8 and Syrian Ba'ath, will keep claiming that the entire Syrian opposition is Al Qaeda, and the sad thing is that they actually believe this propaganda, ultimately it will lead to their demise as they quickly run out of allies, manpower, and the will to keep fighting.
