Hizbullah Refused to Meet Head of STL Defense Office
2011-07-11
[An Nahar] Hizbullah rejected a suggestion to hold a meeting with the head of the Defense Office of the Special Tribunal for Leb Francois Roux aimed at studying the possibility of the confronting the indictment, revealed widely informed sources to the pan-Arab daily al-Hayat on Sunday.

They explained that the meeting would have explained to the party leadership the seriousness of the Defense's work, as well as the possibility of overturning the accusations against Hizbullah members indicted in the liquidation of former Prime Minister Rafik Hariri.

The party leadership however stressed that it will not back down from its decision to not cooperate with the international tribunal after labeling it as politicized and an American-Israeli tool aimed at destroying the party.

The sources added that the meeting would have demonstrated to Hizbullah that Roux is serious in his mission in defending the accused, pointing out that he had also enlisted the help of prominent lawyers to assist him in his mission.

Furthermore, they revealed that the suggestion was made a while before the indictment in the STL was issued and after Hizbullah escalated its campaign against the court.

The STL issued arrest warrants against four Hizbullah members suspected of being involved in Hariri's 2005 liquidation.

Interpol sent alerts to Leb and 186 countries on Saturday ordering the apprehension of the suspects.

If they are not placed in long-term storage in 30 days after the release of the warrants, then the suspects will be tried in absentia.

#6  ION IRNA > ANYONE AGZ IRAN'S INTERESTS [ + national progress] IS NATION'S ENEMY: PRESIDENT [Ahmadinejad].

* PAKISTANI DEFENCE FORUM > PANETTA: US FORCES TO ATTACK [Iran-armed/backed] IRAQ SHIA INSURGENTS, deemed resposnible for the deaths of 17 US Soldiers oer five weeks.


* BHARAT RAKSHAK > HEZBOLLAH IN IRAQ:IRAN DEVELOPS MAHDI ARMY + BADR BRIGADES'S PROXY MILITIAS FOR IRAQ.

Ostensibly for the protection of Iraqi Shias agz wily dastardly murderin' Sunnis while weirdly-n-mysteriously, but only coincidentally, supporting Iran's interests in same.

* SAME > EXPERTS: IRAN USED "ARAB SPRING" COVER TO FINISH [working = reliable]NUCLEAR BOMB PROTOTYPE.

Becuz Region-wide "People Power" democcarcy movements = Shia/Iran/Persian Bomb.

* NEWS KERALA > AUSTRALIA'S MUSLIM LEADERS WANT SHARIA LAW: SURVEY.

ARTIC = the Same also have doubts about the circumstances surrounding OBL's death at Abbottabad + how, why the US disposed of Osama's corpse.

* IRNA > BRITAIN HAS TURNED INTO SOURCE OF INSECURITY [+ riot], In Bahrain + Persian Gulf region.

* NEWSMAX > RADICAL GROUP SEEKS ISLAMIC WORLD ORDER.

The HIZB-UT-TAHRIR Group, which claims to have a presence in 50 countries including the US, + seesk to proselytize, spread Islam + Sharia to the US-World. WID THE END OF SOVIET COMMUNISM, THE US-WORLD NOW FACES THE THREAT FROM ISLAM.

Which IMO is far more dangerous than the Commies because Human Beings are fundamentally HIGHLY SPIRITUAL CREATURES, AMONG OTHER, HENCE ARE NOT + CAN NEVER BE "ATHEIST" IN THE SECULAR/STATE-ONLY COMMIE SENSE.

IMO an ATHEIST = MANIACAL/PSYCHOTIC SELF-REPRESSED BELIEVER OF GOD-FAITH + HIGHER ORDER.

FYI RUSSIA > BHARAT RAKSHAK = RISE [return] OF THE RUSSIAN ORTHODOX CHURCH, in Moscow + Russia to past = "pre-1917" glory + national status/preeminence.
