Lebanese Prime Minister Rafik Hariri said Monday that Islamists were not behind the rocket attack that targeted his television station on Sunday. "No one should convince me that Islamist extremists are behind this attack," Hariri was quoted as saying by political sources.
| "Nope. Nope. Couldn't be them." |
On Sunday, Hariri's Future television was targeted by two rockets fired from a parked car, causing extensive damage to one of the news studios, but no casualties. In a statement sent late Sunday to a Western News Agency in Beirut, a previously unknown group called "Ansar Allah (Supporters of God)" claimed responsibility for the attack. Another statement issued on Monday by Ansar Allah denied any inolvement.
