Sunnis: Hizbullah killed Lebanese minister
Sunni extremists in Lebanon post message accusing '5 individuals from Hizbullah' of assassinating Pierre Gemayel
"The assassination was directly executed by five individuals from Hizbullah. They were divided into two cars and a yellow motorcycle,” the message said.
The Sunni organization, called 'the Mujahadeen (holy fighters) in Lebanon,' also claimed that a "false statement was printed prior to the assassination, in the refugee camp Nahr al-Bared, in which al-Qaeda is implicated in the attack," according to SITE.
"The Mujahadeen in Lebanon view the assassination of Minister Gemayel as part of a continued effort on the part of Hizbullah and its Syrian backers to coerce Shiite ministers into withdrawal, ultimately facilitating an overthrow of the Lebanese government," the statement added.
“We are monitoring them,” the statement concluded, in reference to Syrian-backed Shiite organizations.
Meanwhile, the 'Islamic State in Iraq,' the new title of al-Qaeda in Iraq, has released a propaganda video documenting a number of suicide car bomb attacks on various targets across Iraq in October. The video has been posted on the Canada-based Jihad Unspun website.
Earlier this month, Iraqi al-Qaeda chief Abu Hamza al-Muhajir declared the formation of a "state of Islam" in Iraq, and made a number of anti-Iranian and anti-Hizbullah comments, in which he described Hizbullah leader Hassan Nasrallah as an "agent of the anti-Christ."
