Libanon

[Shahab3]

Ein Angriff auf eine Botschaft mit wohl rund 25 Toten (inkl. mindestens einem höheren Diplomaten) und rund 140 Verletzten hat eine Tragweite, die über einen "normalen" Bombenanschlag deutlich hinaus ginge. Ich bin mir nicht sicher, ob Saudi Arabien tatsächlich ein Interesse daran hat, den Iran hier konkret herauszufordern. Sollte sich eine solche Spur aber bestätigen, könnte das Konsequenzen haben.

The Man Behind Beirut’s Iran Embassy Bombings
By CREW | 19/11/2013

This morning’s terror attacks in Lebanon’s southern suburbs spawned questions about the culprits behind the bombings. Al Mayadeen TV said that security cameras showed the first suicide bomber charge the embassy on a motorcycle and blow himself up to clear the way for a second bomber, who detonated a car packed with explosives.

Following the attack, an unknown and shadowy Salafist by the name of Sirajuddin Zureiqat tweeted that the “Abdullah Azzam Brigades” had carried out the attacks. The ‘organization’ to which Zureiqat belongs to is known to have links with Salafists loyal to the Saudi regime and Al-Qaida. Zureiqat ironically stated that the “al-Hussein Brigades” were behind the terror attack. He confirmed the twin suicide bombers by referring to the bombers as ‘two heroes of Sunnis in Lebanon’.

Following the hunt for Salafist ringleader Ahmad al-Assir after the Lebanese army clashed with his Salafist network earlier in June, Zureiqat appears to have positioned himself as the new face of Salafist terror in Lebanon. As early as October 2012, Zureiqat was already identified as a prime suspect working to destabilize the political climate in Lebanon. Lebanese army intelligence had previously accused Zureiqat of “terrorist activities” and sought his arrest. He was taken into custody but released shortly afterwards by Lebanese authorities in that year.

Auf das getwitterte Bekennerschreiben würde ich erstmal wenig geben und die Ermittlungen abwarten.
