Achrafieh explosion triggers a chain of reactions

2^min

A chain of reactions was sparked to denounce the assassination of the head of Internal Security Forces Intelligence branch Brig. Gen. Wissam al-Hassan which took place on Friday in Achrafieh.

In this context, Iran condemned on Saturday the car bomb attack in Beirut that killed Gen. Wissam al-Hassan, suggesting that Israel was to blame.

"This action was taken with the aim of sowing dissension among different currents and segments of the Lebanese people and was conducted by an element who has never had in mind the interests of the Lebanese people and government and who only strives for its own impure interests and goals," said a statement posted on the Iranian Foreign Ministry's website.

"Without a doubt the main enemy of the people of Lebanon and the region is the Zionist regime (Israel), which benefits from insecurity and instability in the region," ministry spokesman Ramin Mehmanparast said, according to the statement.

For its part, Saudi Arabia condemned the “terrorist” explosion that rocked Beirut.
