Abdullah Azzam Brigades Threaten Hizbullah with 'Successive Rounds of Terrorism'
2014-07-02
[An Nahar] The Qaeda-linked Abdullah Azzam Brigades
... Leb's current al-Qaeda affiliate, named after a guy whose car the current head of al-Qaeda had boomed...
on Tuesday demanded Hizbullah
...Party of God, a Leb militia inspired, founded, funded and directed by Iran. Hizbullah refers to itself as The Resistance and purports to defend Leb against Israel, with whom it has started and lost one disastrous war to date, though it did claim victory...
to withdraw from Syria "before it is too late," vowing to carry out "successive terrorist acts until security is restored" in the war-torn neighboring country.

"I tell Iran's party to quickly withdraw from Syria before it is too late," the Brigades' spokesperson Sheikh Sirajeddine Zouraykat wrote on his official account on social media website Twitter.

"When we bombed — with God's help — the Iranian embassy, and then (Iran's) cultural center to secure victory for the oppressed in Syria and Leb and to respond to the aggression, they called this terrorism," he said.

"And if terrorism is the answer to your crimes, expect more successive terrorist acts that will make you forget all previous rounds until security is restored in Syria," the Brigade's spokesperson warned.

Zouraykat elaborated on what he considers to be the party's activities in Leb and Syria: "Hizbullah's terrorism in Leb was manifested in the attack on al-Taqwa and al-Salam mosques in Tripoli
...a confusing city, one end of which is located in Lebanon and the other end of which is the capital of Libya. Its chief distinction is being mentioned in the Marine Hymn...
(in northern Leb), in burning down the Bilal (bin Rabah) mosque in Abra (neighborhood in the southern city of Sidon), in killing sheikhs and youngsters on the streets, and in arbitrary arrests."

Meanwhile,
...back at the revival hall, the pastor had finally been wrestled from the pulpit.
Y'got the wrong guy! he yelled just before Sergeant Malone's billy club landed...

the "terrorism" of Iran's party in Syria according to the Brigades was manifested in "killing women and kiddies in Aleppo, in besieging Eastern Ghouta (near Damascus), in occupying al-Qalamoun (on the border), in shelling peaceful citizens in southern Damascus, and in continuing to support (Syrian President) Bashar (Assad)."

Zouraykat also considered that Hizbullah was behind the bombing attacks that targeted former Prime Minister Rafik Hariri, former army chief Francois al-Hajj, late MP Walid Eido, journalist and activist Samir Kassir, slain chief of the Intelligence Bureau of the Internal Security Forces Wissam al-Hassan, former Finance Minister Mohammed Shatah, and "a long list that the Lebanese are aware of."

The Abdullah Azzam Brigades had claimed the deadly attack that targeted the Iranian embassy in the southern suburbs of Beirut in November.

At least 23 people were killed and 150 maimed in the Bir Hassan twin suicide kabooms.

The bad boy group also claimed the two suicide kabooms that went off near an Iranian cultural center in Beirut's southern suburbs in February 2014.

The blasts killed six people and maimed over 130 others.

The Brigades have repeatedly called on Hizbullah to withdraw from Syria and the release of Islamist inmates in Roumieh prison in order to stop the attacks on the party's stronghold.
