BREAKING
Sheikh Qassem: Our supporters make up more than half of Lebanon's population, and all of these people are united under the banner of protecting Lebanon, its Resistance, its people, and its integrity.
Sheikh Qassem: There will be no phased handing in of our arms. [The Israelis] must first enact the agreement before we start talking about a defensive strategy.
Sheikh Qassem: Be brave in the face of foreign pressures, and we will be by your side in this stance.
Sheikh Qassem: Stripping us of our arms is like stripping us of our very soul, and this will prompt us to show them our might.
Sheikh Qassem: We will not abandon our arms, for they gave us dignity; we will not abandon our arms, for they protect us against our enemy.
Sheikh Qassem: The US efforts we are seeing are aimed at sabotaging Lebanon and constitute a call for sedition.
Sheikh Qassem: If you truly want to establish sovereignty and work for Lebanon’s interests, then stop the aggression.
Sheikh Qassem: The United States, which is meddling in Lebanon, is not trustworthy but rather poses a danger to it.
Sheikh Qassem: The United States is preventing the weapons that protect the homeland.
Sheikh Qassem: The government’s latest decision [on the disarmament of the Resistance] is non-charter-based, and if the government continues down this path, it is not faithful to Lebanon’s sovereignty.

    Four killed in Somalia in a suicide attack

According to Abdirahman Adan, a police officer stationed near the site, the assailant strolled into a Mogadishu tea store and detonated the explosive vest he was wearing.

"We have confirmed four dead, and nine others wounded," he said. "The casualties were taken to hospital."

Al-Shabaab, a Somali insurgent group, claimed responsibility for the attack, claiming it targeted Somali soldiers receiving training at a Turkish-run military academy nearby. Soldiers stationed nearby, according to witnesses, frequented the tea establishment.

"The explosion destroyed the kiosk and the entire area is chaotic," said Mohamed Yare, one of the witnesses.

The incident happened just two days after Somalia's government Spokesperson was injured in a Mogadishu blast, which Al-Shabaab also claimed responsibility for.

On January 12, several people were killed in a second attack targeting a busy district of the capital by a suicide car bomber.

The attacks come as Somalia struggles to recover from a political crisis brought on by long-running conflicts over long-overdue elections.

The President and Prime Minister have been at odds over the process, which has been plagued by violence and is more than a year late.

The newest deal set a deadline on February 25 for the long-delayed legislative elections, which are the final step before a vote for a new president can take place.

The standoff has alarmed Somalia's international allies, who are concerned that it will draw attention away from the threat posed by Al-Shabaab, a violent rebel group that has been fighting the country's central government for more than a decade.

The Al-Qaeda-linked jihadists were driven out of Mogadishu in 2011 after an offensive by an African Union force, but still, they control vast swathes of rural Somalia from where they launch regular attacks in the capital and elsewhere.
