Hezbollah leader Sayyed Hasan Nasrallah accused the opposition March 14 parties Wednesday of seeking to sabotage the Shiites’ relations with the Sunnis, Christians and Druze as part of a plan to destroy the country’s national fabric.
He also accused March 14 parties of attempting to implicate Hezbollah in any security incident that happens in the country.
“There have been efforts since August 2006 and until today to sabotage relations between the Shiites and Sunnis,” Nasrallah said in a televised speech addressing an iftar in Beirut’s southern suburbs.
Referring to last Thursday’s explosion in Antelias in which two people were killed, Nasrallah said: “The Antelias explosion was a simple incident [involving] a financial dispute between two young men. The bomb exploded and the two men were killed. While the two bodies were still on the spot, some March 14 figures appeared [on TV] to say that the two men wanted to plant an explosive charge to target the security of Christian areas.”
After it was determined that the two men were Shiite, Nasrallah added, some March 14 figures said openly that Hezbollah had sent them to plant the explosive charge, “to say that the Shiites were targeting the security and economy of the Christians.”
He also cited a land dispute in the Jbeil village of Lassa in which, he said, March 14 figures accused Hezbollah and the Shiites of occupying property owned by Christians.
