Grand Mufti of the Lebanese Republic, Sheikh Mohammad Rashid Qabbani condemned on Saturday Achrafiyeh blast that targeted the head of the intelligence branch of the ISF, General Wissam al-Hassan.

In his statement to the Lebanese people, Qabbani highlighted that "the statehood is led by the blood of the martyrs in Lebanon while the hand of treachery and criminality still lurks this country. "
As he slammed the perpetrators of this crime, the Mufti confirmed that "the goals of this crime are clear, the people who benefit from it are known and the crime is a murder of all Lebanon," he said.

In parallel, he prayed that God protects Lebanon and its people from more dangerous coming incidents.
Qabbani called on the Lebanese to maintain calm and wisdom, so that the martyrdom of General Hassan "proves the immunity of Lebanon in face of discord."
"General martyr Wissam Hassan had foiled several criminal plans, he protected the national formula so that Lebanon remains a country of justice," he viewed.

He further assured that "martyr Hassan's blood will not go in vain and the criminal will be punished sooner or later. "
"We call on political, judicial and security authorities to take part in revealing the parties involved in the killing," the mufti concluded.
