Ironic to say the least.

The United States and the Arab Leauge have condemned two car bombings outside Sunni mosques in the Lebanese city of Tripoli which killed 47 people and injured hundreds, as did Iran and the UN.

Meanwhile, al-Qaeda claimed Hezbollah, backed by Iran, was responsible for the attack. Lebanese authorities claimed the death toll from twin car bombs in the northern city of Tripoli has risen to 47 with an additional 300 still in the hospital – 65 of them in critical condition. […]

Al-Qaeda’s North African branch blamed Lebanese Sh’ite Muslim militant group Hezbollah for the bombing, a US-based intelligence monitoring website reported on Saturday.

Although al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb, or AQIM, is not operational in Lebanon, its statement shows a growing regional hatred against Hezbollah by radical Sunni Muslim groups and a wider, deepening sectarian divide in the Middle East.

AQIM said in tweets it knew “with certainty” that the Iranian-backed Hezbollah was responsible for the attack that killed more than 42 people in Tripoli. “That vile party… should know that it will meet retribution soon,” AQIM said, according to the SITE monitoring service.

Hezbollah, which was once lauded by both Sunnis and Shiites for its battles against Israel, has lost support from many Sunnis since it joined Syrian President Bashar Assad’s side in his 2 1/2-year-old fight against a majority Sunni uprising.

“We know with certainty that behind this deplorable act committed against are the hands of the vile, rafidah Hezbollah, which stands side by side with Bashar Assad in Syria,” the AQIM tweets said, as quoted by SITE.
