Abadi Accuses Israel of Being behind Beirut Blast: Iran Cultural Adviser Killed in Attack
Iranian Ambassador to Lebanon Ghazanfar Rokn Abadi confirmed the death of Iranian cultural adviser Sheikh Ibrahim al-Ansari in the twin blasts near the Iranian embassy in Beirut on Tuesday.
He told al-Manar television that al-Ansari died from wounds he sustained in the attack.
Earlier, he had told Iran's Mehr news agency that all staff who were "inside" the embassy escaped unharmed when the explosions went off outside the building on Tuesday.
"All colleagues inside the embassy are in full health," he said.
“The agents of the Zionist entity Israel are behind the blasts,” he later told al-Mayadeen television.
“This terrorist attack will not affect us, but it will make us stronger and more convinced of our stances,” he added.
The explosions occurred in southern suburbs of Beirut, a stronghold of Iran-ally Hizbullah, killing at least 20 people.

so they got the cultural attaché?
he must be the one who advised raad to ask for the closure of the night clubs :)
now we know who is behind the bombings: the association of night clubs.
seriously: if iran and hizbushaitan expect they can do what they want in the region and remain unharmed, then they are plain and simple naïve. this is still a start of what will come.

Looks like Saudi work, not Israeli. Iraqi style suicide bombers, bred and raised Pakistan and financed by Saudi.

ok, so let's try to analyze this bombing :
1- whats the interest for lebanese sunnis to do it, at a time that fsa is struggling ?
2- do fsa/takfiris have the logistics, ressources and local agents to do it ? If yes, how are they ?
I'm telling u, this was made by syrians and their lebanese employees, cf smaha, mamlouk, eid, ect...
