Mullah Fadlallah accuses Israel of Hariri's murder
2005-02-19
Shiite cleric Sayyed Mohammed Hussein Fadlallah directly accused the Israeli intelligence of perpetrating the assassination of former Prime Minister Rafik Hariri on Friday, as the Prayer for the Absent, which is usually reserved for high-ranking personalities such as kings, was held on Friday in Mecca and all the Lebanese mosques to pray for the soul of Hariri and the victims of the blast. "Israel has exerted violence on the region since its establishment, and allied with the American intelligence in order to implement corruption through political assassinations and attacks on the people of many countries," Fadlallah said.

The cleric's statements came during his Friday sermon delivered at Al-Imamayn al-Hassanayn Mosque in Haret Hreik, in the presence of many political, social and religious figures. According to Fadlallah, the Israeli intelligence was responsible for Hariri's assassination because Israel "did not want Lebanon to be a secure and stable country," and was taking advantage of UN Security Council resolution 1559 to stir political conflicts. He added that Hariri's assassination was within the framework of the "American strategy of political violence" aimed at weakening the Arab world, which spread throughout the region following the American occupation of Iraq and the toppling of its totalitarian regime.

#19  Shipman I'll aruge the point. Horses in a stall do indeed require frequent cleaning of hooves. Horses in a pasture have several areas they have for equine bioefluent emissions and do not commonly walk in their own horsepookey.

#18  Hey, now, I have 5 horses and a pig and I resent comparing their asses to Fadlallah. Sunshine, a very pretty little quarter horse, has a fine rump and Elsbeth the Pig is quite cute herself, just ask Half Empty!

#17  Um..... pigs/swine given the chance are way the bejeus cleaner than horses. I've cleaned too much shit from horse hoofs to even aruge the point.

#14  # 13 Barbara *yawn* What is the diference between
a pigs ass or a horses ass? SIZE?? Horses tend to be cleaner, which is why I asked.

I just dont understand the part about "framework
of the American strategy of political violence".

Mullah Fidd-lah accuses Israel of breathing.

I accuse the mullah of being a pig's horse's ass.

#12  Tom, all accounts have this as a massive bomb, I haven't read or heard anything about it being a car bomb, the crater is way too big. the size and shape of the crater indicate a burried bomb.

#11  There is no way it was a car bomb. The crater (about the size from a JDAM, but not quite as deep) shows that the bomb was remotely detonated below ground, probably in a sewer line. The suicide video is designed to create plausible deniability for the Syrians.

#10  Another Mullah gone bad. Maybe we should have a reality show and call it "When Mullah's Go Bad."

#9  Well at first blush I'd have to suspect the Syrians. WHY? Because Prime Minister Rafik Hariri's own people accuse the Syrians. Adding to that chorus, Christian Druze, Other Lebanese groups, western intelligence etc. BUT who the hell really knows with absolute certainty? >> GOD and *uckers who practice such unspeakable crimes.

#7  Taking everything being said in the region with a large grain of salt. Deacon Blues is right, the jury is still out on it being a suicide bomb

#6  I think the school is still out on the bomb. An analyst on Fox seemed to think there was evidence the bomb was burried under the road as it was a very big explosion. If that is true, my bet would be Syria with Iranian "go ahead".

#5  It was a suicide bomb. Israelis value their own peoples' lives too much to engage in suicide attacks.

#4  the jews of medina [yathrib] were too busy making money to whack this mushuganh--they trusted the crazy mekka goyim and look what happened

#3  Methinks he should be named Fullah Madlallah. For accuracy's sake. My beard's better than his, too.

#2  Of course it is the fault of the Jews: if the Jews of Medina just chopped Muhammad and his twenty followers into dog meat upon their arrival, none of this would be happening.

#1  He knows he is lying when he blames Israel. Too dumb to even be scumb. This is why were are going to have to reduce the population that buys into this death cult. It's a matter of self preservation.
