Report: Hizbullah Officials to Move Out of Beirut's Southern Suburbs
Hizbullah has decided to move the residences of several of its officials to areas outside Beirut's southern suburbs, al-Liwaa newspaper reported on Saturday.
The daily said the move would be temporary pending a firm decision to implement strict security measures in the Hizbullah stronghold following several deadly blasts that rocked the Beirut's southern suburbs and other areas where the party has a large influence.
The latest attack was on Tuesday when a car bomb ripped through the Haret Hreik district of the suburbs, killing four people.
It was the second bombing in the neighborhood this month.
A group known as the Nusra Front in Lebanon claimed responsibility for the attack, saying it was in retaliation for Hizbullah's military support of President Bashar Assad's forces in Syria.
Last week, a car bomb struck the northeastern Shiite town of Hermel close to the Syrian border during rush hour, killing at least three people.
