| 2011-07-03 |
| [Al Jazeera] The leader of Hezbullies has implied that Israel was behind the killing of Rafik al-Hariri, the former Lebanese prime minister who was murdered in 2005. Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah was speaking for the first time since the indictment on Thursday by the UN Special Tribunal for Leb of four members of the Lebanese movement over the murder of Hariri. Discussing the tribunal's investigations into Hariri's murder, Nasrallah said: "We mentioned the possibility of having Israel involved in the murder and the fact that [Israeli] agents were present at the murder scene one day before the murder. "No one in the STL even asked the Israelis anything. This is normal, why? Because the tribunal, since its formation, had a precise goal and no one was allowed to talk to the Israelis ... Instead of investigating the Israelis, [the STL] gathered information from them." Speaking on Saturday in a telelvised speech, Nasrallah said that computers related to the case investigated by the STL were transported through Israel on their way out of Leb and asked why they had not been shipped out of a Beirut port? He said Hezbullies would produce a document that proving the computers were transported from South Leb to Israel. Speaking from Beirut, Jamal Wakim of the Lebanese International University told Al Jizz that the charges over computer data were "the most important point" in the speech. He said: "It proves the implication of Israel in trying to divert and manipulate the international court." Nasrallah said the tribunal aimed to spread sectarian strife in Leb but that it would fail to inflame conflict between Sunni and Shia Mohammedans He confirmed that the four men accused by the UN of the liquidation were members of Hezbullies and said they had "an honourable history of resisting Israeli occupation". He also said the charges were an attack on his movement, and authorities would not be able to arrest the four suspects. |
