Wahhab: Chouf Blast An Attempt to Introduce Strife

Local Editor

The head of the "Arab Tawhid" Lebanese Party, former minister Wiam Wahhab, commented on the blast that exploded Friday outside the party's office in the Chouf region.

According to Wahhab, "the bomb didn't target a political office but rather a health center that distributes free medicines."
"The hand of terrorism was faster than us," he viewed, noting that " if the bomb exploded in the later scheduled celebration, we would have talked about dozens of victims."

At a press conference held afternoon, Wahhab said that "[National Struggle Front Leader MP Walid] Jumblatt is affected like me from the blast."

"I do not think that he could permit this kind of actions especially that we have received denunciations from the NSF's officials," Wahhab stressed.
He further highlighted that "there are those aiming to target both MP Walid Jumblatt and me."

"This is an attempt to introduce discord into the mountain area," the former minister warned, clarifying that "the Lebanese security forces have launched their investigations."
In a parallel context, he stressed that "MP Jumblatt knows that my only teacher is Al-Mighty God."

"I don't stand on others' doors, and [Syrian President]Bashar al-Assad is our brother, friend, and ally," Wahhab reiterated.
He also emphasized that he is to stand by Syria as long as it is in the resistance's axis.
"We have passed the stage of intimidation, threats, and bombing," Wahhab assured, concluding that his party has become firmly entrenched in the political arena and will not retreat.
