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.
The cause of the blast was unclear. While a Twitter account associated with the Nusra Front claimed responsibility for the blast, saying a Saudi member of the group identified as Abu al-Ezz al-Ansari blew himself up inside the bus, Syrian media and the trip’s organizers say the blast was caused by an explosive device.’
