Bombs Kill 4 Near Iranian Cultural Center in Beirut

Two suicide bombers blew up their cars Wednesday trying to hit an Iranian cultural center in the dominantly-Shia Bir Abed district in southern Beirut, killing at least four people and wounding more than a hundred, Abdullah Azzam Brigades claimed responsibility. (AP, 19 February)

The group, an affiliate of Al-Qaeda, said on its Twitter account that the “invasion of the Iranian cultural center’ was in “retaliation for Iran's party fighting along the criminal regime in Syria,” probably referring to Lebanese Hezbollah.

“We will continue to target Iran and its party in Lebanon through their security, political and military offices until Hezbollah fighters withdraw from Syria and scores of Islamic detainees are released from Lebanese jails,” Abdullah Azzam Brigades group said in its statement. (AP, 19 February)

    suicide bombing is a disgusting practice that was introduced to Lebanon through the efforts of the murderous Khomeini.

    YOU CAN not force your way into paradise by killing,maiming,and taking innocent souls!.

    can not PRETEND to follow the noble teachings of the HOLY prophet that himself lived peacefully with virulent enemies,dinned with non Muslims,lived in peace with pagans ,himself humiliated and escaped numerous attempts on His life,would risk HIS life to save a tormented soul.

    CAN not afford to call yourself -'AHLUL Sunnah',or a perfect Muslim when you rebel against the teachings of the Holy prophet .The prophet whom the ALMIGHTY calls him the mercy upon mankind.

    instead of killing innocent souls-WHY not travel to QUM and engage in a debate, argue your case with fellow scholars so as to reach a consensus as the HOLY Prophet [P.B.U.H]directed INSTEAD OF SHOWING TO THE world- un Islamic barbarity !.
