That terrorist attack is aimed at compromising the security and stability of Lebanon and sow terror among innocent people, said in a communique Iyad Madani, secretary general of the mostly Muslim 57-member OIC.
OIC urged all Lebanese political organizations and civilians in Lebanon to show wisdom and restraint and work to overcome differences and support the country's constitutional institutions as a way to thwart any attempt drag the country to a cycle of violence and tension.
Two explosions perpetrated by suicide attackers of the ISIL shocked Thursday night the mostly Shia neighborhood of Burj El-Barajneh, in Dahiyeh (a suburb in southern Beirut), and also wounded 239 people and caused heavy damages.
The deadly action was repudiated immediately by all Lebanese political, religious and social leaders, and was condemned on Friday by regional entities like the Arab Parliament, the Arab League and the Gulf Cooperation Council, which showed determination to fight any act of violence, extremism and terrorism in any of its forms, and supported the security, peace and stability in Lebanon and the rest of the Arab world.
