KUWAIT CITY, Feb. 28 (UPI) -- A Kuwaiti journalist says he has evidence incriminating Lebanese and Syrian intelligence in the slaying of former Lebanese Prime Minister Rafik Hariri. Ahmed Jarallah, editor in chief of Kuwaiti daily newspaper As-Siyassa, was quoted Monday in the Saudi newspaper al-Yom as saying that he has "special evidence and information" as to the roles played by Syrian intelligence chief Asaf Shawkat, Syrian state security head Bahjat Sleiman and Lebanese general security chief Jamil Sayyed in planning Hariri's Feb. 14 assassination in a Beirut bombing.
"The evidence and information I have will be submitted to the court to constitute defense material for me," Jarallah said. Sayyed has filed a lawsuit against Jarallah with the Kuwaiti judiciary on charges of circulating lies about him and tarnishing his reputation. | Jarallah better hire some reliable car starters. |
