Wakim: U.S. Behind Decision to Kill Hariri
Is there nothing that's not our fault?[An Nahar] Head of the People's Movement Najah Wakim on Monday accused the United States of being behind the 2005 assassination of former Prime Minister Rafik Hariri. "The U.S. is behind the decision to assassinate former Premier Rafik Hariri," Wakim said in an interview with LBC satellite channel. He stressed that the international tribunal was unconstitutional, adding that STL Prosecutor Daniel Bellemare has submitted the indictment "but the time was not yet ripe for an announcement." Turning to Riyadh and Damascus, Wakim believed that the U.S. also "did not agree on a Syrian-Saudi consensus" over the Lebanon crisis. "I think Americans want to destroy the Resistance in Lebanon," he told LBC. Wakim said Lebanon is an open battleground for regional conflicts, and believed that the "Lebanon political crisis will drag on, but without security implications." Posted by: Fred 2010-12-14 |
