Hezbollah Denounces Attempt to Target Mecca Grand Mosque

Local Editor

Hezbollah issued the following statement:

Hezbollah condemns the sinful attempt to target the Grand Mosque in Mecca by Wahhabi gangs that kill and shed blood without regard to any religious, humane or ethical deterrent, stressing that the attack is part of a series of crimes perpetrated by terrorists across the Arab and Muslim world.

The group went on to say: "The attempt to target the Grand Mosque, the holiest site on earth in the holy month of Ramadan, proves again that the criminal ideology adopted by these groups pays no respect to a sacred place, a holy time, religious sanctities or heritage."

Meanwhile, Hezbollah stated that "the crimes committed by followers of this ideology are based on Fatwas [rulings on issues of Islamic law] of aberrance and sedition which target the entire world without distinction between an ideology, a nationality or another.

"These [Fatwas of sedition] should be denounced and condemned internationally," the group stressed.

Accordingly, Hezbollah urged the different religious and political figures across the world to exercise joint efforts in order to confront these groups and their destructive ideology.
