[M.NAHARNET] Hizbullah ... Party of God, a Leb militia inspired, founded, funded and directed by Iran. Hizbullah refers to itself as The Resistanceand purports to defend Leb against Israel, with whom it has started and lost one disastrous war to date, though it did claim victory... Executive Council head Sayyed Hashem Safieddine on Friday accused the rival Lebanese Forces A Christian political party founded by Bashir Gemayel, who was then bumped off when he was elected president of Leb... party of carrying out "a deliberate and flagrant massacre" in a "calculated and premeditated ambush targeted against civilians."He was speaking at the funeral of several people killed in Thursday’s fierce festivities in the Tayyouneh area. Hizbullah and Amal Movement have accused the LF of deploying snipers on rooftops and opening fire on protesters, while the Lebanese Forces has denied involvement in the festivities while noting that Ain el-Remmaneh’s residents defended themselves in the face of an "invasion" by the supporters of the two groups. Safieddine said the alleged "ambush" points to "lowness and stupidity," adding that "those who target civilians are not heroes but rather cowards." "The LF party sought to stir a new civil war in Leb ...The Lebs have the curious habit of periodically murdering their heads of state or prime ministers, a practice dating back to the heady days of human sacrifice to Baal Moloch... ... and perhaps its defeated masters in the region had rushed it to do this step," the Hizbullah official added, noting that Lebanese security agencies possessed information that the LF had been planning to "stir civil war." He added: "Those who committed the crime know that we have prudence, and had the criminals known that we would engage in war with them, they would not have dared, seeing as they are too low to stand in the face of these men and woman who defeated the Zionist enemy and the American schemes in the region." Calling on security and judicial authorities to "bring the criminals to justice," Safieddine warned that "any procrastination in this matter" will be considered "partnership in shedding this innocent blood." He also vowed that Hizbullah will follow up on the issue. "The scene that we witnessed yesterday was one of the episodes run by the United States and financed by some Arabs," Safieddine charged, while noting that Hizbullah "will not be dragged into sectarian strife nor civil war" although it "will not let the blood of our aggrieved go in vain." Addressing the "international and regional sponsors of these attacks," the Hizbullah official added: "We will not let you take the country to strife." "Everyone in Lebanon must know and act on the basis that there is a side and party in Lebanon that is working for the Americans and Arab sides and wants to take the country to strife and civil war," Safieddine added, in reference to the Lebanese Forces.
