Only days after an explosion in the Lebanese Bekaa shattered the calm which had prevailed in the Arab country for months, another bomb rocked the entrance to the southern suburbs of Beirut causing casualties.
The explosion happened near an army checkpoint and a cafe where football fans were watching the World Cup. After suffering consecutive defeats in Syria, Takfiri militants swore to avenge their losses especially in Shia areas known for their loyalty to Lebanon’s resistance movement Hezbollah. A Hezbollah MP told Press TV that these bombings are a result of state sponsored terrorism. Lebanon has been the scene of numerous car bomb and rocket attacks by Takfiri militants and insurgents operating in Syria which have diminished since the Syrian Army and Hezbollah fighters took control of Syrian areas at the Lebanese border. Despite the fact that today’s explosion can score no political Points, what seems to be a fresh round of bombings by Takfiri militants perhaps serves as an attempt to merely put Lebanon in a state of chaos after having somewhat achieved that goal in Iraq.
