| Hizbullah: Linking Party's Name to Any Security Incident Aimed at Tarnishing its Image |
| 2011-08-13 |
| [An Nahar] Hizbullah condemned on Friday attempts by some Lebanese and Arab media outlets to drag the party's name in any security development that takes place in Leb, the last of which was Thursday's Antelias blast. The party accused in a statement these outlets of "seeking to tarnish its image before its Arab and Lebanese public." It therefore urged the media to "exercise objectivity in its coverage of developments and steer away from exaggeration and the alteration of facts." "This not only harms their credibility, but creates tensions in Leb that don't serve the country or its people," it noted. The party therefore called on the concerned sides to assume their responsibilities in this matter in order to put an end to this affair. Two people were killed in Antelias on Thursday when a grenade in their possession took off. Interior Minister Marwan Charbel told cabinet that the kaboom was a result of a financial and personal dispute between several people, including some car dealers. Some media outlets reported that one of the victims is a member of Hizbullah. |
