Hizb Allah leader Hassan Nasr Allah:
"It is a very dangerous incident," Nasr Allah said of an explosion early on Saturday in a Christian residential area that wounded 11 people and caused extensive damage.
"Someone wants to increase tension and instability," he said, adding that "Israel is the beneficiary." But he stressed that he was not levelling any "premature accusations."
Addressing reporters Nasr Allah also appealed to the anti-Syrian "opposition to sit down at a table to talk and to find a way out of the political crisis."
"We back any national dialogue that takes place ... We will not tire of calling for national dialogue," he said, adding, "there are no grounds for civil war, and we must not create grounds", Aljazeera television reported him saying.
