Lebanese PM Condemns 'Forces of Evil', Urges Solidarity


(MENAFN- Qatar News Agency) The twin blasts in Beirut's southern district is a message by "forces of evil" that they will continue to spread death in the country, Lebanese Prime Minister Tammam Salam said Wednesday in a statement condemning the incident. "Amid the positive atmosphere that accompanied the birth of the government and left the Lebanese people satisfied, terrorism addressed a new blow to Lebanon through the bombing of a safe civilian area. This message reflects the insistence of the forces of evil to inflict injury to Lebanon and its sons and to sow the seeds of discord among citizens," Salam was quoted as saying by state news agency NNA. "The message has been delivered and we will respond through our solidarity and our adherence to civil peace. We will rally around our military institution and our security forces which have been given instructions to do whatever it takes in order to arrest saboteurs and bring them to justice," Salam added. The bombings, which hit the Bir Hasan region near from the Iranian cultural chancellery and the headquarters of Iranian TV channel Al-Alam, left two dead and at least 38 injure
