Lebanon has been without a president since the term of President Michel Suleiman ended in May 2014.

Thursday’s twin bomb blasts were the deadliest in the capital since 1990, when the civil war in Lebanon ended, but the country has always been a terror target, with 14 bombings between July 2013 and June 2014 that killed nearly 100. The Paris incident got a wall-to-wall global media coverage.

The crime scenes in south Beirut and central Paris were marked by a sense of shock and sadness all weekend, with cafes and markets staying much quieter than usual.

Press TV: We were seeing a lot of advances made by Hezbollah in Syria when it comes to its battle against Daesh and we already know that many are actually calling these attacks by Daesh within Lebanon desperate acts by Daesh to kind of confine Hezbollah and not make it advance into Syria. “147 murdered students not even a headline in a paper!” “Not having Lebanese coworkers or eating Kenyan food doesn’t make those victims’ lives matter any less, but it does place those faraway events lower down the empathy list given your particular, limited frame of reference”.

“In Lebanon we experience war and its consequences more than French people do”. The Russian president conveyed the words of condolences and support to the families of those killed in the attack, as well as wished the injured a speedy recovery.

Mashnuq hinted that he expected further attacks: “When they send five suicide attackers to one place, it means…it won’t be the last”.
