It’s the “death series” that’s roaming from place to another, from Bir al-Abed to Rweis, to Tripoli and Bir Hasan and now in Haret Hreik, in Beirut’s southern suburb. The explosion was condemned internationally and locally.
It’s the “death series” that’s roaming from place to another, from Bir al-Abed to Rweis, to Tripoli and Bir Hasan and now in Haret Hreik, in Beirut’s southern suburb.
The explosion, which claimed the lives of 
5 innocent people, was condemned internationally and locally.
UN Security Council rejected all forms of terrorism, urging the Lebanese to preserve national unity and stick to the dissociation policy.
“Terrorism in all its forms and manifestations constitutes one of the most serious threats to international peace and security, and that any acts of terrorism are criminal and unjustifiable, regardless of their motivation, wherever, whenever and by whomsoever committed,” the Security Council said.
Also, United Nations Special Coordinator for Lebanon Derek Plumbly expressed his anger over the recurrent explosions in Lebanon. “I express my outrage that this is the fourth bomb to have exploded in Beirut’s southern suburbs since July,” Plumbly said in a released statement, stressing “the importance of those responsible for this and all other such acts of terrorism to be brought to justice, the need for restraint and for all Lebanese to come together in support of institutions of the state and the security forces as they seek to safeguard the country.”
The United States and the United Kingdom’s embassies in Lebanon condemned the “terrorist” bombing. “We condemn today's terrorist bombing in (the Beirut neighborhood of) Dahieh,” the U.S. embassy said via its account on the social networking website Twitter. “Our condolences to the victims and their families,” it added.
UK Ambassador to Lebanon Tom Fletcher also took to Twitter after the attack. “(We) condemn unequivocally today's callous attack in Beirut,” Fletcher said, noting that Lebanese civilians have become victims again. “(My) thoughts with their families and (with the) emergency teams.”
Damascus “strongly” condemned the deadly bombing, calling for penalizing the “terrorists” behind it.
The country’s Information Minister Omran al-Zohbi told the state-run Syrian Arab News Agency that “the war on terrorism is the duty of all nations of the world and we must penalize the criminals behind acts of terrorism and the regimes supporting them.”
Local Condemnations
Grand Mufti Sheikh Mohammed Rashid Qabbani considered the explosion “another terrorist message” whose price the Lebanese are paying because of their disagreements. He warned: “Terrorism is targeting everyone and is moving from one region to another.”
Maronite Patriarch Beshara al-Rahi, as well, deplored Dahieh's explosions and “all acts of killings, destruction, and terrorizing that are used to incite strife among the people of this country.” “We urge both feuding political camps to communicate immediately and adopt responsible and brave decisions to safeguard Lebanon from miseries that evil is leaving behind.”
MP Talal Arslan, the Lebanese Democratic Party leader, warned that “it's about time everyone realized the magnitude of the conspiracy that is targeted all the Lebanese without exception.” He also called for “putting an end to all baseless political accusations that open the door to all forms of terrorism.”
Former Prime Minister Saad Hariri said terrorism that is targeting civilians, innocents and civilian areas is a criminal behavior that is devoid of any human feelings and can certainly be described as ‘satanic deeds.’ “Innocent people in Dahieh are victims of criminal and terrorist acts that have been targeting them for months, and at the same time they are victims of the involvement in foreign wars, especially in the war in Syria,” Hariri said in a released statement.
Ex-PM Fouad Saniora also condemned Dahieh’s blast, calling upon everyone in the country to “think and seek ways to exit this tunnel.”
Progressive Socialist Party leader MP Walid Jumblatt called for dialogue among rival parties. “Our experience must oblige us to sit around the dialogue table as terrorism does not discriminate between one person and another,” he told al-Manar television.
Lebanese Forces leader Samir Geagea also condemned the “terrorist and criminal” blast, saying “it's about time political leaders rose above (selfishness) and shouldered their responsibilities towards God, the country and the people, as the situation has become totally unacceptable.”
Free Patriotic Movement leader MP Michel Aoun said the bombings that targeted several regions in Lebanon aim at promoting sedition at the expense of wisdom. “Everyone is targeted and is put in a situation where they want to defend themselves,” he pointed out. “This is a justification used to explain all explosions.” He then urged political leaders not to adopt any arbitrary steps that “might worsen the current situation and violate the constitution.”
Loyalty to Resistance bloc MP Hasan Fadlallah assured that the blast occurred in an area that is relatively far from Hezbollah’s political bureau.
Meanwhile, March 14 general-secretariat coordinator Fares Soaid expressed that the repercussions of what is happening in Syria and Iraq are affecting all the Lebanese. “And this is why we asked for an immediate withdrawal from Syria,” he told al-Arabiya television.
