Syria Condemned Beirut Explosion

DAMASCUS,(ST)_The Syrian Parliament condemned in the strongest terms the terrorist bombing that targeted Lebanon’s stability in the southern suburbs of the capital Beirut.
In a statement issued yesterday, the Syrian Parliament considered this terrorist crime a “command of the side that leads operations in al- Anbar region in Iraq and Syria”in order to compensate for the defeats of the Wahhabi gangs at the hands of the Syrian and Iraqi armies.

It pointed to the systematic attacks targeting Lebanon’s stability in general and its capital of resistance, in particular by car bombs and suicide bombers, a matter which confirms that “there are sides that want to involve Lebanon in great strife as punishment for the Lebanese army pursuit of al-Qaeda terrorist cells.”
