Hamadeh: Syria Orchestrated UNIFIL Attack with Hizbullah Help

W460

March 14 opposition MP Marwan Hamadeh blamed Damascus for Friday's attack on a UNIFIL patrol in the southern city of Tyre, saying it was orchestrated with the help of its ally Hizbullah.

"It is clear that Syria was behind what happened today and the messenger was Hizbullah," Hamadeh told Agence France Presse. "Nothing happens in that region without Hizbullah's approval."

He added the fact that the blast took place near a Palestinian refugee camp was only aimed at sowing confusion.

"The Syrians have accused France of being at the forefront of what they believe is a foreign plot to destabilize their country and everyone felt that something was bound to happen," Hamadeh said.

Five French troops and two civilians were injured when a roadside bomb targeted the UNIFIL patrol in the area of al-Nabaa on the road that leads to Burj al-Shamali.

Hizbullah: The bombing against UNIFIL targets Lebanon’s security and specifically the stability of its south. We urge the Lebanese security agencies to exert utmost efforts to put an end to such attacks.

The Hezz and Syria daily show why the people want to be rid of them in the region. Nassy will sit in his rat hole today pretending he didn't do anything.

Quite frankly, I don't see what any of this has to do with Israel.
