 Kuwaiti newspaper, Al-Seyassah, reported that on Friday an assassination attempt on Allameh Seyed Mohammad Ali Al-Hosseini traveling in the southern coast of Lebanon was unsuccessful.
Al-Hosseini accused the Iranian regime's "revolutionary guards" residing in Hezbollah's command centers and offices in southern Beirut for the assassination attempt on his life, Al-Seyassah added.
He said, "They attempted assassination by leaving a specific kind of
acidic solution in front of his car about 45 minutes before he and his
driver began their trip home to Sour. That is the time needed to melt
the metal body of the car, which was separated and destroyed causing
the roll over of the vehicle which could have ended in killing the
passengers."
Al-Hosseini said: "the revolutionary guards have attempted my
assassination by the order of officials in Tehran. This is exactly how
they decided to go after Imam Mousa Sadr (in Libya in the seventies)
because he objected to taking orders from Iranian officials to run
Lebanon's affairs."
He said that his constant attacks on the meddling of Iran in the
affairs of Shiites in Lebanon and Iraq have caused "the members of
Iranian revolutionary guards infiltrated in Hezbollah to set their
minds on my assassination. This happened especially after my speech two
weeks ago in Paris in a conference hosted by the Iranian opposition and
attended by more than 500 people. In that speech I talked about true
nature of things happening here."
Al-Seyassah wrote: Allameh Al-Hosseini accused the Iranian
revolutionary guards being behind everything happening in Lebanon. My
positions are Arab based and I oppose Iranian interference in Lebanon
and in the Arab world. As a result, instead of threats against me, now
they have decided to resort to my assassination. He said he has filed a
complaint against an anonymous individual with the Lebanese
judiciary.
