DHAKA: The Qaeda-linked Abdallah Azzam Brigades allegedly released a video Wednesday showing footage of the November 19 double suicide attack against the Iranian embassy in Beirut, for which it has claimed responsibility.

The 18-minute video, entitled ‘The attack on the Iranian Embassy in Beirut’, went viral on social media after it was posted, although could not be independently verified.

The video includes recorded warnings from the group’s late leader, Majid al-Majid, who died last month in a Beirut military hospital, as well as from Mouin Abu Dahr, one of two suicide bombers who carried out the attack, which killed 30 people and wounded over 150 others.

The group’s spokesperson, Sirajeddine Zureiqat, also appears in the video threatening the Defense Ministry and Lebanese Army Intelligence.

‘I tell (Hezbollah), the (Army) Intelligence and the heroes of the Defense Ministry, enough looking for al-Qaeda and terrorism cells, your oppression of the Sunnis is creating al-Qaeda in the hearts of the Sunni youths and a (reason) to confront you and to face the humiliation suffered by our people,’ he says.

The video features excerpts from Hezbollah leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah’s speeches, and footage of attacks it claims are ‘led by Iran and its tools against Sunnis in several Arab countries’ including Iraq, Yemen, Lebanon, Iran and Syria, reports TDS.
