Shehayeb accuses Hezbollah of plot to change Lebanon's regime
MP Akram Shehayeb accused Hezbollah of setting the stage to control Lebanon and change its regime, vowing that the March 14 alliance is committed to confronting such a scheme.
Not fond of the idea of an Islamic Republic of Leb, are you?
Shehayeb, in an interview with Naharnet at the Phoenicia Hotel Bastion that he labels "The Abu Ghreib Jail," said: "Hezbollah is for a preemptive war to control state institutions -- to torpedo the Taif accord."

Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah, in his latest speech, "wanted to tell all the Lebanese political factions that 'I have the veto power as long as I possess all these weapons and all the money and this strong security apparatus.' This shows that Hezbollah wants a preemptive war to control state institutions in the future," Shehayeb said. "That is why we insist on electing a strong and capable president who can prevent this march of autocracy by Nasrallah," Shehayeb added.
