Hizbullah Accuses March 14-Backed Regional Intelligence Groups of Dahieh Blast
Hizbullah accused on Thursday “regional intelligence bodies” of being behind last week's deadly blast in Beirut's southern suburbs.
"This terrorist blast was engineered by intelligence bodies that are benefiting from the policies of incitement adopted by some March 14 factions,” the party's Loyalty to Resistance parliamentary bloc said after the MPs' meeting.
The bloc elaborated: “These groups are investing in terrorist Takfiris to execute their plans and are taking advantage of March 14's strategic path that serves the interests of the American-Zionist axis in the region.”
The bloc explained that the “catastrophic failure of these Takfiri groups to achieve conspiratorial goals in Syria and on the border with the neighboring country has pushed them to instead seek compensation inside Lebanon.”
"But we took the decision to resist to these groups to preserve Lebanon, its unity, resistance, diversity and its religious coexistence, regardless of the sacrifices we have to offer.”
A huge explosion rocked Hizbullah's stronghold in the southern suburb of Beirut last Thursday, killing at least 27 people and wounded 325 others.
A previously unknown group, apparently a Syrian rebel cell, said it carried out the attack between Bir al-Abed and Rweiss, districts where Hizbullah security is normally tight.
The group said the explosion came as a “response to Hizbullah's fighting alongside Syrian President Bashar Assad's forces in the neighboring country.
Meanwhile, Hizbullah chief Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah accused on Friday radical Islamists of responsibility for the bombing.
The Loyalty to Resistance MPs pointed out in their statement that a “national unity cabinet is the political solution that would uncover terrorists and the parties obstructing the building of the state.”
"We reject a de facto cabinet which is provocative and contradicts with the National Charter,” the lawmakers stressed, remarking that the March 14 coalition "is standing in the way of forming a political council of ministers, hindering the work of the constitutional institutions and the political life in the country."
"Betting on autocratic regimes that promote a reconciliation with the Zionist enemy threatens sovereignty and stability in the country.”
The bloc also discussed the kidnapping of the Turkish pilots and the Lebanese pilgrims held in Aazaz, calling for intensifying efforts to draw an end to this case “to avoid further complicating the situation.”
