BEIRUT: The head of the Future bloc, MP Fouad Siniora, phoned several Shiite political and religious figures, condemning the reported killing of a Lebanese policeman at the hand of Nusra Front and describing him as a "martyr for all of Lebanon."
In a statement, his office said Siniora contacted Speaker Nabih Berri, deputy head of the Higher Shiite Council Sheikh Abdel-Amir Qabalan, Shiite scholar Sayyed Ali Fadlallah, Sayyed Ali al-Amin and Sayyed Mohammad Hasan al-Amin, along with Prime Minister Tammam Salam.
In his conversation with the Shiite leaders, Siniora deplored the awful crime that targeted Bazzal, saying: "There is a continued effort to drag the country into a damned and rejected strife."
"Ali Bazzal is a martyr for all Lebanon and not just his village or his honorable family. What is needed is for anyone to be aware of the plot designed by terrorists and agencies belonging to tyrannical regimes trying to incite strife and destroy Lebanon,” Siniora said.
"Lebanon is our country and the Lebanese won't be satisfied with an alternative ... They will not allow anyone to serve a blow to moderation.”
