Hamas buries two killed in Beirut bombing

[Ma'an] The Hamas movement laid to rest on Monday two men killed in an explosion in Beirut on Saturday.

The two were buried in Al-Burj Ash-Shamali Refugee Camp in Beirut.

According to Lebanese sources, forensic experts determined that the blast was caused by a 15 kilogram charge of TNT that was placed underground in the city's Haret Hreik district.

Also on Monday, the leader of Lebanon's Progressive Socialist Party, Walid Jumblatt, became the first to point the finger at Israel for the apparent assassination.

In his weekly column in the Al-Anbaa newspaper that the incident was a "sabotage act that only confirms the [depth] of Israel's aggressions against Lebanon, either through recurrent violations of Lebanon's airspace, land and sea or through security incidents."

At a news conference on Sunday afternoon, Hamas' top official in Lebanon, Osama Hamdan cautioned the public not to jump to conclusions about the explosion, stressing that an investigation was "ongoing."

Earlier on Sunday Hamas leader in Gaza Ayman Taha confirmed that the two were Hamas members
