Senior Shiite cleric Sayyed Mohammed Hussein Fadlallah has repeated his assertion that he holds the United States responsible for the current level of tension and instability in the country. "The United States is provoking tension everywhere, and is working to generate political instability as part of its strategy to control the region," the senior cleric said during his weekly seminar held on Wednesday. Fadlallah warned the Lebanese against the trappings of American hegemony and said officials in the country should not allow international and regional forces to interfere in Lebanese affairs. Fadlallah said: "We urge all Lebanese, particularly the loyalists and the opposition, to work for the stability of the country and hold productive dialogue" in order to preserve the citizens' interests and save the country from the repercussions of instability.
Piss off, Beardo. We didn't blow anybody up. In Lebanon, anyway... | |
