Hizbullah: U.S. and its Regional Proxies are behind Damascus Bombings
Hizbullah stressed on Friday that the bombings that took place in Syria will not weaken the resolve of the forces of resistance in the region.
It said in a statement: “The United States and its regional proxies are behind the Damascus bombings.”
"These bombings which resulted in the death and injury of dozens of people, mainly women and children, are the specialty of the United States, the mother of terrorism," it added.
"This horrific terrorist crime... committed one day after the coordinated bombings that targeted Baghdad and other cities across Iraq is a cowardly, bloody act of revenge after the United States' humiliating withdrawal from Iraq," read the statement.
A cold war has been heating up for months between Washington and Hizbullah, with the group denouncing the planting of CIA "spies" in its ranks and the United States accusing the movement of illegal financial and drug dealings in recent weeks.
Syrian officials say at least 30 people were killed and 100 wounded in Friday's bombings in Damascus, which they have blamed on al-Qaida.
The attacks were the first of their kind against the powerful security services in the heart of the capital since unprecedented protests against Assad's regime erupted in mid-March.
One bombing targeted the General Security Directorate, Syria's most important plainclothes security service, in the Kfar Suseh neighborhood of Damascus.
The second exploded outside a nearby military intelligence building.
