The terrorist Fatah al-Islam group has said it will stand by the Sunnis if Beirut was threatened. In a statement published by the pan-Arab daily al-Hayat on Thursday under the headline: "Lies and Excuses to Slaughter Sunnis in Lebanon," Fatah al-Islam warned to confront "anybody who wants to bow the heads of our people in Beirut," an indirect reference to the Hizbullah-led opposition. The opposition fought fierce gunbattles with pro-government supporters last week after anti-Hizbullah cabinet measures angered the Shiite group triggering the worst sectarian strife since the 1975-90 civil war. Hizbullah leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah said he regarded the government moves as a declaration of war and sent his Shiite militants into Sunni areas of west Beirut prompting the fighting. Violence across the country left at least 65 people killed and 200 wounded in six days. "What has happened in Beirut – the invasion, the killing, the incineration, the humiliation against the Sunnis -- is not acceptable," Fatah al-Islam said. It said repeated excuses by Hizbullah and the opposition, justifying their action was a response to the government's measures, "were only a lie," the statement said.
