Hizbullah Sues Bahaa Hariri over Port Blast Accusation
Lookit the scary terrorist group that spends its time suing people for saying mean things about it instead of blowing them up.
[AnNahar] Hizbullah
...Party of God, a Leb militia inspired, founded, funded and directed by Iran. Hizbullah refers to itself as The Resistance and purports to defend Leb against Israel, with whom it has started and lost one disastrous war to date, though it did claim victory...
is suing the estranged brother of the country's Prime Minister-designate Saad Hariri
...Second son of Rafik Hariri, the Leb PM who was assassinated in 2005. He has was prime minister in his own right from 2009 through early 2011. He was born in Riyadh to an Iraqi mother and graduated from Georgetown University. He managed his father's business interests in Riyadh until his father's assassination. When his father died he inherited a fortune of some $4.1 billion, which won't do him much good if Hizbullah has him bumped off, too....
after he accused the group of being responsible for the massive explosion at Beirut's port earlier this year, a TV station reported Wednesday.

Hizbullah's al-Manar TV gave no further details about the case filed against Bahaa Hariri, the son of late Prime Minister Rafik Hariri and estranged brother of Saad Hariri.

The move came a week after Hizbullah said it was suing former politician Fares Soaid and the website of the Lebanese Forces
A Christian political party founded by Bashir Gemayel, who was then bumped off when he was elected president of Leb...
party for accusing Hizbullah of being responsible for the Aug. 4 blast that killed more than 200 people and maimed thousands.

Hizbullah politician Ibrahim al-Moussawi, who filed the case against Soaid and the website, told news hounds last week that he also plans to press charges against Bahaa Hariri, a harsh Hizbullah critic who lives in exile.

The massive blast in August was caused by nearly 3,000 tons of ammonium nitrates, a fertilizer improperly stored at a port warehouse for six years.

Since the blast, some of Hizbullah's opponents and others have accused Hizbullah of storing explosive chemicals at the port. After Leb
...an Iranian colony situated on the eastern Mediterranean, conveniently adjacent to Israel. Formerly inhabited by hardy Phoenecian traders, its official language is now Arabic, with the usual unpleasant side effects. The Leb civil war, between 1975 and 1990, lasted a little over 145 years and produced 120,000 fatalities. The average length of a ceasefire was measured in seconds. The Lebs maintain a precarious sectarian balance among Shiites, Sunnis, and about a dozeen flavors of Christians. It is the home of Hezbollah, which periodically starts a war with the Zionist Entity, gets Beirut pounded to rubble, and then declares victory and has a parade. The Lebs have the curious habit of periodically murdering their heads of state or prime ministers...
's 1975-90 civil war ended, Hizbullah was the only group allowed to keep its weapons as it was fighting Israeli forces that occupied parts of southern Lebanon.

However,
a clean conscience makes a soft pillow...
Hizbullah has dismissed the accusation and no evidence has emerged to link the group to the explosive chemicals.

An investigation has yet to provide an explanation for what happened -- or hold any bigwig responsible. Families of the victims have asked for an international probe, in a country where violent mostly peaceful attacks and liquidations are rarely brought to justice.

Lebanon's port authority, security agencies and politicianship were all aware of the stored explosive chemicals at the port, documents have shown. The port is one of the country's facilities where rampant corruption has been reported.
