The Secretary General of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC), Iyad Amin Madani, condemned the terrorist bombing in the southern suburb of the Lebanese capital Beirut, which killed and wounded many Lebanese civilians. He extends his condolences to the families of the victims and wishes the wounded speedy recovery. The Secretary General warned against the mounting violence in Lebanon and the repercussions of involving the country in the events taking place in Syria. He invited all components of the Lebanese society and its political forces to dialogue, underscoring their commonalities, and called for accelerating the formation of a stable government that would place Lebanon's national interests and its independent historical identity above all considerations. The Secretary General reaffirmed OIC's readiness to put at use all its potential to this end.
