Iran Blames Israel For Beirut Blasts As Al-Qaeda Offshoot Lays Claim -- RT
The Al-Qaeda-linked Abdullah Azzam Brigades have claimed responsibility for the Beirut Iranian embassy suicide blast which killed 23 and injured a further 146. Meanwhile, the Iranian Foreign Ministry has stated that Israeli mercenaries were responsible.
The Brigades, a Lebanese Al-Qaeda-affiliated Sunni jihadist group, stated that it instigated the twin suicide bomb attack in Beirut, according to Reuters.
The Abdullah Azzam Brigades' leader, Sheikh Siraj al-Din Zureiqat forewarned that armed assaults would continue across Lebanon until Iranian forces left Syria and captives were released. Iran has firmly denied sending troops to Syria in support of President Bashar Assad’s government, while publicly recognizing its sending of military personnel to help train and advise Syrian forces.
"It was a double martyrdom operation by two of the Sunni heroes of Lebanon," Zureiqat wrote on Twitter.
