| [An Nahar] The bombings claimed by the Qaeda-linked Abdullah Azzam Brigades ... Leb's current al-Qaeda affiliate, named after a guy whose car the current head of al-Qaeda had boomed... aimed at provoking Shiites residing in Beirut's southern suburbs against the Sunnis in the area, the al-Akhbar newspaper reported on Saturday. Detained top Qaeda-linked myrmidon Naim Abbas confessed that the Shiites were expected to have a bloody reaction against the Sunnis in Dahiyeh. However, a poor excuse is better than no excuse at all... the scheme failed after Hizbullah ... Party of God, a Leb militia inspired, founded, funded and directed by Iran. Hizbullah refers to itself as The Resistanceand purports to defend Leb against Israel, with whom it has started and lost one disastrous war to date, though it did claim victory... restrained from carrying out any counter reaction or targeting Sunni areas with explosive-laden vehicles to retaliate the bombings targeting its strongholds. Abbas, according to the daily, said that a group monitoring Hizbullah's bastions noticed that the party increased the security measures in Haret Hreik, Rweis and Bir al-Abed, however, the measures in al-Shiyyah were less. The report continues that the minimal security measures in Shiyyah prompted the leadership of Abdullah Azzam Brigades to set a plan to target the area with suicide kabooms to evoke Shiites against Sunnis and prompt them to target areas like Tariq al-Jadideh, which is mainly a Sunni neighborhood. Earlier in February, the army announced the arrest of top myrmidon Naim Abbas, one of the leaders of the Qaeda-linked Abdullah Azzam Brigades. Following his interrogation, he told the army about two car rigged with explosives which were dismantled in Beirut's Corniche al-Mazraa district and the Bekaa area of al-Labweh. A string of car and suicide kabooms have targeted Hizbullah strongholds in Leb in recent months, killing dozens of civilians. The latest attack targeted the Iranian Cultural Center in Bir al-Hassan neighborhood, killing 11 people and wounding more than 100. The attack was quickly claimed by the Abdullah Azzam Brigades that previously claimed a double suicide kaboom aimed at Iran's embassy in Beirut. |
