Hezbollah Negotiated with Qaddafi, the Price of Sadr was $200 Million
[Asharq al-Aswat] A Syrian negotiator between the so-called Hezbollah party in Leb and Libya’s former leader Muammar Qadaffy...a proud Arab institution for 42 years, now among the dear departed, though not the dearest... told Asharq Al-Awsat that the party was preparing a deal with Libya to receive $200 million, weapons and an apology in exchange of closing the file of Cleric Musa Sadr. The Syrian figure said he had met with Qadaffy in 2004. During the meeting, the source said Qadaffy had asked him to speak with "Hezbollah" in a bid to solve the Sadr case. He said Qadaffy’s fears were mostly related to the security of his family members and their desire to travel to Leb to spend their vacations. One of Qadaffy’s sons, Hannibal, had even married Lebanese supermodel Aline Skaff in 2003. The Syrian figure was able to convey Qadaffy’s proposition to "Hezbollah" due to his close relationship with the party’s Secretary General Hassan Nasrallah and one of his closest aids, Hajj Hussein Khalil. "I was tasked to engineer the deal, particularly the financial part, which did not constitute any burden to Qadaffy, whatever the sum was," the Syrian negotiator said. Posted by: Fred 2016-08-31 |
