It said in a statement after its weekly meeting: "One of the suspects' interview in TIME Magazine was a deliberate provocation by Hizbullah to not just the STL, but the Lebanese people's longing for justice." "It was also a scandal to the government and its institutions that announced its inability to inform the suspects of the arrest warrants against them under the excuse that it was unable of finding their locations," it continued. "This government is completely responsible for this scandal. It should apprehend the suspects itself or demand that Hizbullah hand them over or resign," it stressed. Furthermore, the March 14 General Secretariat condemned Hizbullah chief His Eminence Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah The satrap of the Medes and the Persians in Leb... 's recent positions, which the statement said made it appear as if the entire Shiite sect was being targeted by the STL. The statement warned that such actions would lead Leb to strife. "The General Secretariat condemns the attempt to connect the Shiite sect to the accused and the liquidations," it added. "This sect has been and will always be a key partner in the state," it stressed. "It refuses to have their names dragged in the adventures of those who claim to represent them," it continued. TIME Magazine recently published an interview with one of the suspects in the Hariri liquidation, who said that he is located in Leb and that the Lebanese authorities know where he is but cannot capture him. |
