Mustaqbal Movement Slams Tripoli Bombings, Urges All Sides to Present Concessions for Lebanon
The Mustaqbal Movement condemned on Sunday the bombings in the northern city of Tripoli, urging the security forces to deal firmly with those seeking to harm Lebanon's security.
It said in a statement: “We urge all political powers to present concessions for the nation and place national interests above all else.”
It made its remarks after holding a meeting in Tripoli in light of Friday's twin bombings.
The movement demanded that security measures be bolstered at places of worship and that security forces increase their presence in the northern city.
Powerful car bombs exploded outside two Sunni mosques in Tripoli on Friday.
The first bomb struck in the city center at the al-Salam mosque as worshipers were still inside.
The second explosion struck just minutes later outside al-Taqwa mosque, about two kilometers away, near the port.
Judicial sources told An Nahar daily Sunday that the death toll reached 45 with at least 500 wounded.
