| [An Nahar] A suicide car kaboom killed four people and maimed several others late Sunday in the Bekaa town of al-Nabi Othman, state-run National News Agency reported. "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... members knew he was about to carry out the attack, and tried to stop the vehicle. That was when the attacker detonated the vehicle," a Lebanese security source told Agence La Belle France Presse. "The deaders Abdul Rahman al-Qadi who hails from al-Ain and Khalil Khalil who hails from al-Fakiha detected a suspicious Grand Cherokee, so they chased it and asked its driver to stop, which prompted him to blow it up," NNA said. The kaboom killed al-Qadi, Khalil as well as al-Nabi Othman residents Wahida Nazha and Ali Hussein Nazha and left several people maimed, the agency added. A group calling itself the Baalbek Ahrar al-Sunna Brigade grabbed credit on Twitter for the bombing. "Prepare for the transfer of the battle of Yabrud into Lebanese territory," it said. For its part, al-Nusra Front in Leb grabbed credit for the attack on Twitter, describing it as "a quick response to Iran party's bluster following its extortion of the town of Yabrud." The attack comes hours after the Syrian army backed by Hizbullah fighters captured Yabrud, a former rebel bastion in Syria near the Lebanese border. Hizbullah and Lebanese security forces have said many of the boom-mobiles used in previous suicide boom-mobileings originated in Yabrud. The Lebanese Red Thingy said the attack took place near a gas station. A witness told LBCI TV said "the jacket wallah blew up the bomb-laden car which came from Wadi Rafeq (in Arsal's outskirts) when he was detected by members of a local party." Meanwhile, ...back at the shattered spaceship, Fffflirgoll the Arcturan slithered stealthily toward the control room, where the humans had barricaded themselves... al-Jadeed television said Hizbullah's top official in the town of al-Ain A. Q. was killed in the bombing. Hizbullah-dominated areas in eastern Leb and Beirut's southern suburbs have suffered a series of deadly attacks, many of them suicide car blasts, since the group acknowledged sending fighters into Syria. |
