Democratic Gathering chief MP Walid Jumblatt accused Hezbollah of planning to take over the government headquarters and to occupy Lebanon's capital Beirut. Jumblatt said this is part of the Persian plan to exert influence in the region from Iran to Lebanon, including Iraq and Syria. Jumblatt called Hezbollah a division of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards. Jumblatt, who is heading to Washington on an official visit revealed the above during an interview with the Kuwaiti newspaper al Anbaa , which will be published on Saturday. Jumblatt warned that if Lebanon falls to the Persians , this could endanger the whole Arabian Gulf region Jumblatt criticized the delay in setting up the International tribunal to try the killers of former PM Rafik Hariri. He told Al Anbaa that he plans to raise this issue both in Washington and at the UN in New York. Asked about the Bkirki meetings for finding a consensus president Jumblatt said " I hope they will be able to select a president that will recognize all the UN resolutions starting with UN 1559." Asked who is his favorite presidential candidate he said " March 14 alliance ( of which he is a member ) has 2 candidates : Boutros Harb and Nassib Lahoud. They are our only candidates." |
