Muslim world denounces Paris attacks

  • 9 years ago
Condemnations of the Paris attacks poured in from across the Muslim world on Saturday and Sunday, with Jordan, the Gulf states, Iran, Hezbollah and the Syrian regime expressing condolences over the deaths in the French capital.
Hassan Nasrallah, chief of Lebanon's powerful Shiite Muslim movement Hezbollah, strongly condemned on Saturday the Islamic State's attacks in Paris that killed at least 129 people and wounded more than 300.
Nasrallah was speaking on Hezbollah's Al-Manar television channel two days after twin ISIS suicide bombings in a southern Beirut stronghold of the group killed more than 40 people.
Al-Arabi al-Jadeed, an Arabic newspaper published in London, featured a cartoon with a suicide bomber inside the Eiffel Tower wearing a suicide belt, about to blow himself up.
One of the three suicide bombers who blew themselves up at the Bataclan theater on Friday was named Sunday morning as Omar Ismail Mostefai, a 29-year-old from one of Paris' poorer suburbs.
