Gulf Cooperation Council Condemns Dahieh Bombing
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
The Gulf Cooperation Council condemned the car bombing that ripped through the southern suburb of Beirut on Thursday and which killed at least 22 people.
"This criminal and disgraceful act is an attack on Lebanon's security and stability," GCC secretary general Abdullatif al-Zayani said in a statement late Friday.
Thursday's bombing at the heart of the densely populated Hizbullah stronghold of Dahieh also targets "Lebanon's peaceful cohabitation, through sowing sedition" among its various confessions, he said.
The Gulf bloc, which groups Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, imposed sanctions on Hizbullah in June over its military support for the Syrian regime against the mainly-Sunni rebels.
Zayani urged the Lebanese factions "not to give room to vandals, advocates of sedition and terrorists."
He said the GCC stands by Lebanon's side "against all that threatens its stability," offering condolences to the families of the dead.
A previously unknown group, claiming to be a Syrian rebel cell, said it carried out the attack, which also wounded 325 people.
On Friday, Hizbullah leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah blamed takfiris (radical Sunni Muslims) for the attack.
The blast came six weeks after a car bomb went off in a nearby neighborhood and wounded more than 50 people.

u find that funny because u must be an ignorant repeating what u hear on tv. The very proof is that wahabism does not exist, if u took the time to check content of abdelwahab books, u'll find out that he did not bring anything new, just repeating what older scolars said before. But u seem too busy repeating what nassy and khamenei say rather to trying to understand that wahabi is a derogatory term invented by rawafid/brits to amalgam islam and terrorism...
