Hezbollah says undeterred by threats, keep supporting Syria

(Ahlul Bayt News Agency) - In a statement on Sunday, Hezbollah said threats and terrorist attacks will not deter the movement following a recent bombing claimed by an al-Qaeda-affiliated group in Beirut.The comments were made after the al-Qaeda-linked Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) on Saturday claimed responsibility for a car bomb attack in Beirut’s southern suburbs which killed two people.On Saturday, the ISIL said in a statement posted online that it had penetrated the "security system” of the resistance movement to “crush its stronghold.”The statement added that the attack was “the first installment of a heavy account” that awaits Hezbollah due to the group’s support for the Syrian government. Hezbollah Secretary-General Seyyed Hassan Nasrallah has on several occasions reiterated the Lebanese resistance movement’s decision to fight foreign-backed and Takfiri militants in Syria to defend the Syrian people.Syria has been gripped by deadly crisis since March 2011. According to reports, the Western powers and their regional allies -- especially Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and Turkey -- are supporting the militants operating inside Syria.According to the United Nations, more than 100,000 people have been killed and a total of 7.8 million of others displaced due to the violence./149
