    Syrian opposition: Hezbollah to blame for commander's death

    The head of the Syrian opposition’s delegation to peace talks in Geneva, Assad Zoabi, on Sunday blamed Hezbollah for the death of its senior military commander, Mustafa Badr al-Din, in an explosion in Damascus over the weekend.

    Speaking to the Al Jazeera network Zoabi said that Hezbollah’s claim that a rival group was responsible for Badr al-Din’s death was "ridiculous", and added the goal of the organization is to cause "outrage among the public and justify the continuation of hostilities".
