| Fneish: Some Parties Employing Hariri Murder for Security, Political Ends |
| 2010-11-01 |
| [An Nahar] You won't believe this, but... State Minister for Administrative Development Mohammed Fneish has stressed that those who criticized Hizbullah chief Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah's recent speech intended to "show that the Resistance That'd be the Hezbullies, natch... has opponents" in Leb. In an interview with the Akhbar al-Yaum news agency, Fneish said that "some parties are employing the murder of martyr premier Rafik Hariri for security and political ends." "Politically, through pointing the finger at the Resistance, That'd be the Hezbullies, natch... acquitting Israel and tampering with the country's stability; and security-wise through enabling the Israeli, together with the American, of having the information they want," Hizbullah's minister added. Fneish noted that both the country and the Resistance That'd be the Hezbullies, natch... are being targeted, announcing that Hizbullah would confront any targeting "according to the situation and in a manner that would protect the country and the Resistance That'd be the Hezbullies, natch... and prevent violations." "How, and by what means, that would be decided according to circumstances and developments." Commenting on Phalange Party leader Amin Gemayel's call for Hizbullah to abide by the democratic system, Fneish described his remarks as "insults and accusations," noting that they have no objective or logical basis. Asked about the ongoing Syrian-Iranian-Saudi contacts, he stressed that "Arab contacts have never stopped, but the problem lies in the obstructive U.S. role." "Every time positive indications loom on the horizon, we start to notice U.S. media and political interventions, such as the visit of Assistant Secretary of State Jeffrey Feltman to Leb." "That was aimed at preventing the Lebanese from reaching an understanding," he added. |
