Hizbullah Tries to Absorb Salafi Hit Back
Hizbullah on Wednesday tried to absorb a hit back by the Salafi movement, saying the abrogated understanding between the two sides was aimed at achieving inter-Muslim unity.
A Hizbullah statement said "context of the short-lived understanding was not doubted by any honest Muslim."
Hizbullah, the statement said, "highly values the courage of Sheikh Hassan Shahhal," the Salafi cleric who had signed the understanding on Monday and aborted it the next day.
"Hizbullah understands the circumstances and huge pressures exerted on the brethren who had signed the understanding," the statement concluded.
