JohnnyAdam – Sekurang-kurangnya
5 orang terbunuh dan berpuluh-puluh cedera dalam satu letupan yang kuat, yang
menggegarkan pinggir bandar yang di selatan Beirut yang menempatkan kubu kuat
kumpulan Syiah Hizbullah. Menurut Menteri Kesihatan Lubnan Ali Hassan Khalil, 5
orang terbunuh dan 66 cedera dalam letupan semalam.
Letupan
besar telah disebabkan oleh bom kereta, sumber keselamatan kepada Reuters.
Futej dari tempat letupan itu menunjukkan mayat dipintal dan dibakar beberapa
kereta, dengan anggota bomba dousing mereka dengan hos. Beberapa blok yang
berhampiran rumah pangsa juga mempunyai bahagian-bahagian facades tercabut oleh
letupan itu.
Letupan
yang disasarkan daerah komersial sibuk Beirut, menyebabkan ramai orang untuk
melarikan diri kawasan dalam keadaan panik kerana takut letupan selanjutnya.
Daerah ini juga dikenali untuk menempatkan pejabat-pejabat Hizbullah dan studio
televisyen, Al - Manar, yang hanya 200 meter dari letupan itu.
At least 5 killed as massive explosion shakes
southern Beirut . . .
At least
five people were killed and dozens injured in a powerful explosion, which shook
a suburb in south Beirut housing a stronghold of the Shiite group Hezbollah.
According to Lebanese Health Minister Ali Hassan Khalil, five people were
killed and 66 were wounded in Thursday’s blast.
The
large explosion was caused by a car bomb, a security source told Reuters.
Footage from the scene of the explosion showed twisted and burnt remains of
several cars, with firemen dousing them with hoses. Some of the nearby blocks
of flats also had parts of the facades torn off by the blast.
The blast
targeted Beirut’s busy commercial district, causing many people to flee the
area in panic for fear of further explosions. The district is also known for
housing the offices of Hezbollah and its television studios, Al-Manar, which
are just 200 meters away from the blast.

Satu
kenyataan yang diedarkan oleh Hezbollah berkata tiada ahli politik Syiah atau
Ahli Parlimen cedera dalam letupan itu. Televisyen Al-Manar Hizbullah disiarkan
rakaman selepas letupan itu, yang disifatkan sebagaimana “letupan pengganas”
tetapi mengatakan bahawa biro politik kumpulan itu tidak dianggap sasaran.
Letupan,
yang disebabkan oleh bom kereta, pergi di jalan yang sesak, kata Adnan
Ghalmoush, seorang wartawan Al Arabiya di Beirut. Pasukan keselamatan
melepaskan tembakan ke udara untuk menjaga orang-orang dari tempat kejadian
letupan itu, katanya. Bom itu diletakkan di dalam kenderaan memandu pacuan 4 roda, menurut Al-Manar stesen TV satelit.
A
statement distributed by Hezbollah said no Shiite politicians or MPs were
injured in the blast. Hezbollah’s Al-Manar television aired footage of the
aftermath of the blast, calling it a “terrorist explosion” but saying that the
group’s political bureau was not thought to have been the target.
The
explosion, caused by a car bomb, went off in a crowded street, said Adnan
Ghalmoush, an Al Arabiya correspondent in Beirut. Security forces opened fire
into the air to keep people away from the scene of the blast, he said. The bomb
was placed in a four-wheel-drive vehicle, according to Al-Manar satellite TV
station.

Pasukan
keselamatan di Beirut baru-baru ini dimatikan beberapa bom kereta di kawasan
itu tetapi tidak membuat ini kepada orang ramai supaya tidak menyebarkan
ketakutan di kalangan penduduk, kata Ghalmoush.
Lubnan
agensi berita Nasional melaporkan bahawa Pihak Berkuasa Kebangsaan Pengu-rusan
Bencana telah memanggil mesyuarat tergempar di Beirut Grand Serail, Pejabat
Perdana Menteri, akibat pengeboman.
Security
forces in Beirut have recently defused several car bombs in the area but did
not make this known to the public so as not to spread fear among residents,
Ghalmoush said.
The
Lebanon National news agency is reporting that the National Authority for
Disaster Management has called an emergency meeting in Beirut’s Grand Serail,
the prime minister’s office, as a result of the bombing.
