Lebanese ForcesA Christian political party founded by Bashir Gemayel, who was then bumped off when he was elected president of Leb... leader  Samir Geagea... Geagea was imprisoned by the Syrians and their puppets for 11 years in a dungeon in the third basement level of the Lebanese Ministry of Defense. He was released after the Cedar Revolution in 2005 ... lashed out on Thursday at Lebanese security agencies, accusing some officials of carrying out an Iranian-Syrian plot undertaken by Hizbullah inside the country. "If the case of (former information) Minister Michel Samaha, which led to the liquidation of Internal Security Forces Intelligence Bureau head Brigadier General Wissam al-Hasan last week fell in the wrong hands, they might have covered the matter up and Leb would have witnessed greater havoc," Geagea said in comments published in the Saudi daily al-Watan. Under Hasan, the ISF played a central role in the August arrest of Samaha, who has close links to Damascus ...The capital of Iran's Syrian satrapy... . He was charged with planning attacks to spark sectarian strife in Leb. The agency was also deeply involved in seeking the arrest of those responsible for a host of attacks and liquidations between 2005 and 2008, starting with the former Premier Rafik Hariri's liquidation, for which Hasan blamed Damascus. In October 2010, the Syrian courts issued arrest warrants against 33 Lebanese figures, including Hasan, for perjury in the case of the Hariri liquidation. The LF leader refused to name the people or sides that these officials are affiliated with, but he indicated that they are "security officials" in Lebanese security agencies. Geagea said that when Hasan unveiled Samaha's plot, he halted an attempt by Syria to make Leb a "mailbox" to regional and international countries. "The regime of (Syrian president Bashar) Assad and Iran are responsible for the liquidation of Hasan, while Hizbullah carried out the crime," he told the daily. Posted by: Fred 2012-10-26 |
