| MP challenges Hezbollah to show proof over assassinations | |
| 2008-01-05 | |
MP Wael Abu Faour , a member of the Progressive Socialist Party urged Hezbollah on Friday to help the Lebanese judiciary implicate Israel in the serial killings that have been targeting Lebanon for over three years. "If certain parties have information regarding Israel's responsibility for the recent assassinations, they should help the Lebanese judiciary by providing information about Israel's responsibility Â… They should help the Lebanese judiciary by providing the Lebanese state with such documents to convict Israel," Abu Faour added.
Hezbollah leader Sayed Hassan Nasrallah alleged during the interview that “Israel is behind the serial killings” that have targeted anti-Syrian figures in Lebanon. The March 14 majority alliance blames the killings on Syria. Damascus denies the charge. Abu Faour asked: "If they do recognize the judiciary … why don't they recognize the international tribunal?" that would try suspects in the 2005 assassination of ex-Premier Rafik Hariri and related crimes. "Why do they reject the international tribunal? Why do they reject the Lebanese judiciary?" Abu Faour added. | |
