(MENAFN- Qatar News Agency) The United Nations Security Council strongly condemned the terrorist attack in the Lebanese capital of Beirut, which injured dozens of people.
Calling the blast an "heinous act," the Security Council reiterated their determination in a statement to combat all forms of terrorism and stressed the need to bring the perpetrators to justice.
A powerful blast rocked the southern suburb of Beirut on Tuesday, injuring 53 people. The UN Security Council appealed to all Lebanese people to preserve national unity in the face of attempts to undermine the country's stability, urging all Lebanese parties to refrain from any involvement in the Syrian crisis.
Derek Plumbly, UN special coordinator for Lebanon, said earlier in the day that such "cowardly acts of violence" aim at destabilizing the country and spreading fear and are completely unacceptable.
