RNA – Lebanon’s Union of Scholars of Jabal Amil has issued a statement condemning the terrorist explosions in the Damascus suburb of Sayyidah Zaynab, saying that this act was an “inhuman crime committed by Takfiri terrorists who sought to target pilgrims visiting the Holy Shrine of Lady Zaynab,” the daughter of the first Shi’a Imam, Ali.

They said that people said the attack was a continuation of the wave of suicide bombings that have targeted religious sites in Muslim countries. “These incidents demonstrate the brutal nature of the [Takfiri] terrorists who are in the service of Israel,” he stressed.

The Union of Scholars of Jabal Amil also issued a statement condemning Friday’s terrorist attack against the Imam al-Ridha Mosque in in the town of Mahasen in Saudi Arabia’s predominantly Shi’a al-Ahsa region. The suicide bombing killed four people and injured 18 others. “Those who attack places of worship are backed by the corrupt ideology and fatwas of the muftis of Saudi Arabia,” he said.

The statement continued, stating that these Takfiri terrorists who engaged in such inhuman actions have left the realm of humanity and that “unfortunately, the Saudi government hasn’t ended its support of these criminals or the dissemination of their extremist ideology in their mosques and schools.”
