Aoun: Targeting Army is an Attack against the Nation
2011-08-30
[An Nahar] Free Patriotic Movement
Despite its name a Christian party allied with Hizbullah, neither free nor particularly patriotic...
leader MP Michel Aoun
...a wholly-owned subsidiary of Hizbullah...
slammed on Monday campaigns against the Lebanese army, saying that attacking it is an assault against the country.

He said after the Change and Reform bloc's weekly meeting: "Parliament should assume its responsibilities because one of its members crossed his limits when he targeted the army."

He made his statements in reference to MP Khaled al-Daher who last week accused some members of the security forces of adopting the same repressive approach as the Syrian security forces in their crackdown against anti-regime protestors.

Aoun added: "Such a matter harms the nation. He crossed his limits by attacking the army and we demand legal measures be taken against him."
