Something ironic about Hezbollah being attacked with suicide bombers.
Via LWJ:
The Al Nusrah Front for the People of the Levant, an al Qaeda branch in Syria, claimed credit for another suicide attack that targeted Hezbollah in Lebanon.
Yesterday’s suicide attack took place in Hermel, a city near the border with Syria in the Hezbollah-dominated Bekaa Valley. The suicide bomber detonated a Jeep Grand Cherokee at a gas station in the city, the Daily Star reported. Three people were killed and at least 23 more were wounded in the blast.
The Al Nusrah Front claimed credit for the attack in a statement that was released through its Twitter account, according to the SITE Intelligence Group. The al Qaeda group said that it executed the suicide attack in an effort to get Hezbollah to stop fighting on the side of President Bashar al Assad in the Syrian civil war.
“With the continuation of the crimes by the Party of Iran [Hezbollah] against our vulnerable people in our beloved al-Sham [Syria], and its insistence on sending more of its mercenaries to kill the Syrian people, it did not leave us a choice but to work to stop its massacres and reciprocate on its own ground in order to force it to revise its calculations,” the statement said.
