(BRUSSELS) - EU foreign policy chief Javier Solana condemned Friday's deadly car bombing in Beirut which he said was clearly aimed at fomenting instability in Lebanon.

"Yet again I express my utter condemnation at the continuing wave of bomb attacks in Beirut," the EU high representative for foreign and security policy said in a statement.

"It is clear that the main intention behind these attacks is to foment instability. As attempts to foster dialogue continue in good faith, others exert efforts to pursue a sinister agenda," Solana added.

Senior intelligence officer Captain Wissam Eid, investigating killings largely blamed on Syria, was slain along with three other people in the bombing in a Christian suburb of Beirut.

Solana said the international community "must continue to support those who genuinely seek peace and to denounce the perpetrators of these heinous acts".

He also sent his condolences to the victims' families and hoped for a speedy recovery to the injured.
