He said in a statement: “We watched with great sorrow the horrific developments in Paris that targeted innocent civilians in a barbaric and unjustified manner.”

The al-Qaida-affiliated al-Nusra Front announced on Saturday the capture of a number of Hizbullah fighters in Syria.

It said via its Twitter account that three Hizbullah fighters were capture in Reef Aleppo in Syria.

Speaker Nabih Berri and Hizbullah chief Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah received telephone calls from Hamas politburo chief Khaled Meshaal and his deputy Ismail Hanieh to condemn the terror attacks in Beirut's southern suburbs of Bourj al-Barajneh, adding that the Palestinians who were allegedly involved in the blast were not refugees in Lebanon, reported al-Joumhouria newspaper on Saturday.

The Islamic State group claimed responsibility for the attack, saying it was executed by two Palestinians and a Syrian.

Arab and international efforts will be launched soon in order to help it confront the repercussions of the Syrian conflict in light of the recent suicide attack in Beirut's southern suburbs of Bourj al-Barajneh, reported al-Joumhouria newspaper on Saturday.

To that end, a meeting is expected to be held in Turkey on Sunday between Saudi and French officials on the margins of the G20 summit, said the daily.

State Commissioner to the Military Court Judge Saqr Saqr did not rule out the possibility that a detainee arrested in the northern city of Tripoli earlier this week could be connected to Thursday's Bourj al-Barajneh blast, reported the daily An Nahar on Saturday.

The detainee confessed that he was planning on blowing himself at a cafe in the Tripoli's Jabal Mohsen neighborhood simultaneously with the suicide bombers of the Bourj al-Barajneh attack.

The dialogue session between the Mustaqbal Movement and Hizbullah that was set for Friday was postponed indefinitely, reported al-Mustaqbal daily on Saturday.

The session was postponed in wake of the legislative session that was held on Thursday and Friday and in light of the Bourj al-Barajneh blast.

France and the United Arab Emirates expressed readiness Friday to boost security cooperation with Lebanon, a day after a twin suicide bombing killed 44 people and wounded 239 others in the Beirut southern suburb of Bourj al-Barajneh.

In a phone call with Interior Minister Nouhad al-Mashnouq, UAE Interior Minister Sheikh Seif bin Zayed al-Nahyan expressed his country's “solidarity with the Lebanese government and people,” the National News Agency said.

Lebanese Forces leader Samir Geagea called Friday for “protecting the Lebanese” in the wake of twin blasts that hit the Beirut southern suburb of Bourj al-Barajneh and left 44 people dead and 239 hurt.

“Nothing can save us from the tragedies of the ongoing wars in the region other than this general Lebanese solidarity,” Geagea said during an LF ceremony.

The parliament approved on the second day of its legislative session Friday most of the draft laws that were on its agenda except for one on municipalities' telecom revenues, as Speaker Nabih Berri hailed the Dahieh region for its “awareness” after Thursday's deadly bombings.

“The parliament has approved a law obliging those entering Lebanon to declare the amount of money they're carrying if it exceeds $15,000,” al-Jadeed television said.

Progressive Socialist Party leader MP Walid Jumblat has criticized the much-awaited legislative session that was held on Thursday and Friday, saying it was “too costly at all levels.”

The session “exhausted all efforts, capabilities and the capacities of the human mind in order to be held,” said Jumblat in an editorial on his party's al-Anbaa online magazine, referring to the strenuous negotiations and political wrangling that eventually secured the convention of the parliament.
