Israeli official dismisses Hezbollah allegations
2010-08-10
[Ma'an] Hezbollah's claim that Israel was behind the 2005 assassination of a former Lebanese prime minister reveals that the movement is deeply concerned it will be blamed for the murder, an Israeli official said Sunday.

"They are looking for a way out," an official in the Israeli Prime Minister's Office told The Jerusalem Post newspaper. "When they start casting for straws like this, it just shows the degree of pressure they are under."

"This is completely ridiculous and -- most importantly -- everyone knows it," the official added.
