March 14 General Secretariat: To Punish Syrian Regime for Chemical Weapons' Use
The March 14 General Secretariat held the Syrian regime responsible for the bombings that rocked the Dahieh area and the city of Tripoli in August, and backed the decision of the Arab League foreign ministers to punish the Syrian regime for using chemical weapons against its own people.
In a statement issued following its weekly meeting on Wednesday, the Secretariat said that the involvement of the Syrian regime in the bombings that targeted the southern district of Beirut and the northern city of Tripoli has been proved, pointing that the vicious schemes come to complement the schemes of Mamlouk-Samaha.
The statement also rejected “Hizbullah's accusations” which blamed internal parties in a bid to cover the real perpetrators behind the crimes, and voiced calls to inform the Syrian ambassador that he is a “persona non grata.”
March 14 praised the vigilance of the people of Tripoli and Dahieh who were able to thwart the plans that aimed to “drive them to sedition.”
Two massive blasts car bombs exploded on august 23 outside two Sunni mosques in Tripoli killing 45 individuals and wounding 500, a week after a similar explosion rocked the Dahieh suburb, Hizbullah's stronghold, killing 27.
On the situation in Syria, March 14 described the Syrian regime's use of chemical weapons against its people as an “unprecedented massacre” adding that it is a “crime against humanity” that shows the “madness” of the regime.
The crime highlights the necessity to punish Syrian President Bashar Assad to put an end to his “criminal approach,” the statement added.
The General Secretariat backed the demands of the Arab League foreign ministers that called to “punish the regime of Assad”, reiterating their support to the Syrian people's fight for freedom and dignity.”
Arab League foreign ministers on Sunday urged the United Nations and the international community to take "deterrent" action against the Syrian regime over alleged chemical attacks near Damascus.
