Haret Hreik”s Explosion Aimed at Undermining Stability
President Michel Suleiman on Sunday condemned the bombing that targeted Saturday night a Hamas headquarters in Beirut Southern Suburbs, saying it was an act of sabotage aimed at undermining stability.
"The will of the Lebanese and their determination won”t let such destabilizing acts expand," added a statement issued by the press office of the Lebanese presidency.
Suleiman called on the concerned security services and judicial authorities to intensify their investigations in order to arrest the perpetrators and bring them to justice.
"The death toll from Saturday night”s explosion has risen to three, after one of the wounded died of his injuries," a Lebanese security official said.
Earlier on Sunday, a Hamas spokesman told Al-Arabiya television that the Beirut explosion had killed two members of his movement and wounded three people.
"The explosion in the southern suburbs resulted in the martyrdom of two members of Hamas and wounded three other people," the spokesman, Ayman Taha, said on the Saudi-owned, Dubai-based station.
He added that "the circumstances of the explosion are unclear and it is too early to name the party" responsible.
