Warning for Lebanese to expect more attacks

Share:

In Beirut, Sunni Muslim demonstrators set burning barricades in the streets, the day after a prominent fellow Sunni was assassinated in an attack that’s being blamed on neighbouring Syria.

Lebanese intelligence official Wissam al-Hassan died along with seven others when a car-bomb exploded in central Beirut on Friday.

He had been a vocal critic of Syria’s President Assad.

Newspaper leader writers are warning that Lebanon should ‘expect the worst’.

Local resident Shehade Skaff said: “Our house is very near to where the explosion happened. Our minds raced, thinking of our kids who were at school and at university. It is a disaster.”

Lebanese opposition figures accused Assad of the attack and called for the government in Beirut to resign. Shi-ite Hezbollah, who are allied to Damascus, play a leading role in the administration.

Both Hezbollah and Syria condemned the attack.

It was the worst bombing in the Lebanese capital since the assassination of the former prime minister Rafik Hariri in 2005.

Lebanon’s head of Internal Security Forces Major-General Ashraf Rifi warned that there would doubtless be more attacks.

    Don’t need ‘attacks’. Packs of idiots living in Tripoli doing their best to have the civil war revived. 🙁
    Don’t need to wonder what the Friday Mosque Messages were now …

    Its time to take the war to heart of Bashar al assad. if one more killing happens then we should take it to the heart of Dahia. Isn’t it what Bashar wants.. i am sure there will idiots accusing Israel of the killing machine. I wander why israel hates M14 officials so bad.. as if they and hezbollah are in bed together. why Hassan caught so many hezbollah operative spying for israel.. that explains it i suppose.. Its time to start killing M8 and let the killings begin.. i think it will best and let the winner decide the rest of our fates. isn’t it what our hezbollah resistance want? if not, then stop the killing on behalf of Syria. stop it damn it.
