Iran condemns Lebanon bombing, blames Israel
View(s):TEHRAN, Oct 20 (AFP) – Iran condemned a car bombing in Beirut that killed eight people, including a top Lebanese security official, blaming it on arch foe Israel.
Tehran condemned “the terrorist blast which was carried out by those who aim to create division between different Lebanese groups that never serves the interests of Lebanon,” spokesman Ramin Mehmanparast said in a statement on the foreign ministry website.
“Undoubtedly, the main enemy of the Lebanese people and the region is the Zionist regime which benefits from instability and lack of security in the region,” he added.
Friday’s rush-hour bombing in Beirut killed at least eight people — including the intelligence chief of Lebanon’s Internal Security Forces, General Wissam al-Hassan — and wounded 86 others, Lebanese officials said.
