Hezbollah condemns Damascus bus blast

‘Hezbollah condemned the blast that targeted a Lebanese bus carrying Shiite pilgrims in a central district of the Syrian capital and killed at least six people and wounded up to 20 Sunday.

“Hezbollah condemns the terrorist blast that was executed by Takfiri criminals in the Syrian capital Damascus and that targeted the visitors of Sayyida Roqaya and led to the killing and wounding of several pilgrims,” a Hezbollah statement read.
