| 2015-02-21 |
| [An Nahar] Hizbullah ... Party of God, a Leb militia inspired, founded, funded and directed by Iran. Hizbullah refers to itself as The Resistanceand purports to defend Leb against Israel, with whom it has started and lost one disastrous war to date, though it did claim victory... rejected on Friday media reports that said Syria was seeking to assassinate detained former minister Michel Samaha. It said in a statement: "Such claims are baseless accusations that do not rely on facts." It added that it reserves the right to take legal action in the matter. Soddy Arabia ...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face... 's al-Watan daily had reported on Tuesday that "Damascus had emphasized to Hizbullah chief His Eminence Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah The satrap of the Medes and the Persians in Leb... the need to eliminate Samaha, who was indicted with attempting to transport explosives from Syria to use them in criminal acts in Leb." Police had thwarted a plot to kill the former pro-Syrian information minister. The military prosecutor had recently granted Samaha the right to be transferred to hospital for medical reasons, but he later lifted his decision under the orders of General Prosecutor Judge Samir Hammoud and Justice Minister Ashraf Rifi. Both Hammoud and Rifi interfered in the case after security forces received information that Samaha could be killed during the transfer for having dangerous information on the Syrian regime. Rifi had confirmed the liquidation plot on Tuesday. Samaha and two Syrian officials have been indicted for transporting explosives from Syria to Leb in an attempt to assassinate Lebanese political and religious leaders. His trial has been adjourned on several occasions over the failure to summon Syrian security chief General Ali Mamlouk. |
