Syrian government condemns terrorist attack in Beirut southern suburb

Damascus, SANA-Government of the Syrian Arab Republic strongly condemned the terrorist coward act, perpetrated by hands of terrorism in Bourj al-Barajneh in the southern suburb of Beirut which claimed the lives of a number of innocents and wounded many others.

Two suicide bombers blew themselves up on a crowded street in a southern Beirut suburb Thursday, killing at least 37 people and wounding nearly 200.

“This cowardly attack reflects the ugliness of terrorism which targets and terrifies unarmed civilians and residents… it is the same terrorism against which Syria has repeatedly warned,” the Syrian government said in a statement on Thursday.

It added that the armed terrorist organizations and their criminal acts have no limits and don’t distinguish between the states and peoples, nor they take into account any value for life, heritage or culture.

“Time has come for the governments and states to unify efforts in a clear and organized way to confront terrorism and its supporters,” the statement said.

The Syrian government called for activating the UN Security Council relevant resolutions which ban offering any support to terrorists.
