Hezbollah slams media over clashes
2008-05-29
Hezbollah has slammed 'the media propaganda' about Tuesday's clashes in Beirut which 'was aimed at misleading public opinion'.

In a statement issued by the movement's office, Hezbollah termed as regrettable 'the misleading propaganda' and 'media attacks' about the clashes in the Kurnish Mazraa neighborhood. The statement called on media to ask security institutions to provide them with the facts about the incidents.

The statement added a row started after a group of youths celebrating the anniversary of the liberation of southern Lebanon were attacked by stones in the Kurnish Mazraa neighborhood.

A member of al-Mostaqbal faction hurled a bomb at the youths but it exploded prematurely and several people were wounded. Hezbollah said security forces are well informed about the incident and know who were behind it.
