BEIRUT: Future Movement MP Jamal Jarrah accused a pro-Syrian Lebanese group of being behind a recent bomb attack that left six French U.N. peacekeepers wounded earlier this week.

“The bomb that targeted UNIFIL’s [United Nations Interim Forces in Lebanon] French contingent was carried out by a pro-Syrian Lebanese group as a message of protest of France's position on the events in Syria," Jarrah told a local radio station.

Six French soldiers serving with the U.N. Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) were wounded Tuesday when a roadside bomb exploded as a four-vehicle convoy made its way in the southern port city of Sidon.

Investigators continued Thursday to comb the site of the attack, even as suspected leads in the probe into the bombing proved fruitless for authorities seeking to apprehend assailants.

A judicial source told The Daily Star that contrary to some reports, no individuals had been arrested in connection with the attack.
