Beirut - Lebanon's Grand Mufti Sheik Mohammed Rashid Qabbani on Saturday condemned the Tripoli blast as a "crime aimed at sparking factional fighting."
The Mufti, in a statement, warned against the apparent "determination to spark unrest in Tripoli."

He said attempts to contain the situation have so far failed to achieve security and stability for the citizens.
Qabbani urged the various factions to facilitate the mission of Premier-designated Fouad Siniora in forming the new cabinet quickly "due to the extraordinary situation."
